Its come down to these to turbos; but I'm not sure which one to go for.

Price wise they are in the same (ish) bracket, so that is not a problem.

Read good reviews for both (on here and other forums) - so can the PH cycling experts help me make a decision?

Is the Fluid better than the Tacx Magnet?
Is it worth getting the Tacx because of its 10 level resistance?

What does one have the other doesn't etc?

Thanks all

I've the Satori, but no experience of the CycleOps. Re. the Satori, it's fine. Certainly does everything I need, and the variable is handy. Not silent, but not deafening either. A bit of a farr to build, but once you have it together, installing the bike is a 30 second affair.

Cant comment on the Cyclops, but I have satori and I personally think its great.

Great resistance settings, can make it tough.. perfect for simulating climbing its very stable.
Very good for a entry turbo.
