Tacx Fortius turbo trainer

[dangerousB]

Anyone got one?
I've heard good things about them and what with the winter not too far away, I may be tempted to part with my hard earned for one!
Bottom line is, I don't know too much about them and in my reading I've seen mentioned the i-magic, multiplayer, T1930, T1940, 2011 model, 2012 model and have no idea which one to go for.
If anyone can give me any info or point me in the right direction, I'd very much appreciate it!

Have 2 of them, first Fortius had a power supply issue (unfortunately I tried to fix it myself so voided the warranty) so bought a Fortius multiplayer.
Pros: they are less mind numbing than a normal turbo trainer.
Cons: the constant software issues and glitches.
Look at the forum on the tacx website, its full of threads about various technical issues, there is very little actual tech support so the guys on the forum are the only support your get for any issues.
Personally I'd look at an alternative to tacx although the new Genius which is to be released in January does look very good. Lets just hope that the software is up to it.

I've hankered after on for ages but seem to get on ok with a normal spinning bike and Sufferfest playing on my iPad so am now thinking a normal TT will work just as well plus is less faff to setup if you need to put it away each time...
