Anybody use Tacx Flow Ergotrainer?

Wanted to know your thoughts. I have used computrainer in the past and know that it is the old guard, but it is a pain to set up and about twice as much as the Tacx....

I've had a Flow for several years, and used it extensively in the off-season when my team trained indoors.

Overall, I've found it easy to use and durable. The Flow seems to measure roughly 30-50 watts higher than other power meters, but it's consistently high. So if you know your numbers on the Flow, you can have confidence that they will be the same from workout to workout.

Now, I've never used a Computrainer or any sort of on-bike power measurement. But for targeted indoor workouts, the Flow fits the bill.

I have a Tacx Fortius, which is somewhat similar. The software can be frustrating, but might not be quite as bad as what some online reviewers claim...
