I have yet to try my friend's Tacx Fortius, but I know he loves it. He says is he is able to stay on for hours riding the real life videos through the Alpes and Pyrennes. I am tempted to try, but worry I may want one too.
On the other hand, I have been focusing on doing various 45-120 minute Spinervals and CTS interval DVDs on my Cycleops fluid trainer. I make them more bearable by blasting my favorite music on my stereo as background. My question is which approach would have a greater training value, a long session using one of the Tacx Real Life videos riding through the 'mountains' or the shorter, structured interval sessions on Spinervals or CTS.
Thanks for your opinions.
