BKOOL Turbo Trainer

Options
My old Elite Turbo trainer is dying a slow and noisy death at the moment so I'm in the market for another during the cold, dark, wet winter days.

I've been regularly using the sufferfest videos, and going for manual resistance adjustments (which of course is open to my own interpretation of what a big hill should feel like). A friend has recently got the BKOOL VR Turbo trainer which looks amazing, and DC rainmaker agrees; however long term use and reviews seems to have some niggles (not to mention the non-compatibility with sufferfest vids.

Does anyone on the MFP community use the BKOOL hardware, with the "older" version at £349 it seems like a great deal, but real world experience is always welcomed.
