ric_stern/RST said:i've tested against several of them (each unit gave different, but wildly optimistic readings). I've also tested quite a few other trainers that incorporate a 'power meter', and in general they're wildly optimistic too.
Off the top of my head, i've tested several Computrainers, a few Tacx Basics/Grand Excels, a Fortius (couldn't get it to work with my Power Tap), several Elite Axioms, about five or six Cateye Cyclosimulators, a Cyclops trainer and possibly some others (can't recall off the top of my head).
so what if Elite make more trainers than anyone else? Quantity production doesn't necessarily mean accurate.

What scale factor did you use on the Tacx trainers?
