Tacx Flow T1680 Ergotrainer - Worth the extra Dosh?

Spins

Hi,
Was going to get Tacx Satori at CRC but then came across a link on Boards for the Tacx Flow T1680 at a very competitive price (€260 - Stg£299 at CRC). I read elsewhere online that it can be upgraded to a VR machine at additional cost at a later stage if so required.
Does anyone have any experience of the Flow?
Is it worth the extra dosh over the Satori?

Hi have no experience of sartori bought flow from your posted link about 6 -8 weeks ago
using it a bit as hard to get out these dark evenings
similar to other previous posts on related threads it is boring but seems to give a reasonable work out though i am a relative newbie and maybe not getting full value yet i hope to use it a fair bit over the winter
i would recommend if you feel you will use it enough to get value from initial outlay

This http://www.bikeradar.com/commuting/gear/category/accessories/resistance-trainer/product/magnetic-28812 gets a good review and is available for a measly £90 from CRC http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=6055

Alternatively there are a few more up-market ones on the adverts forum.
