Ok everyone, I am in the market to buy a direct drive smart trainer!! After a lot of research and reading I am still undecided on what manufacturer and model to purchase. So looking for user input and evaluation, if are willing to share the pros and cons on the model you use? Also a score out of 10. Thanks in advance if you contribute.

Re: Smart trainer poll.
I just bought the Kickr Core, so I don't have a lot of feedback quite yet.
But my general impression is that it was relatively easy to assemble (just don't forget to buy a cassette, because it doesn't come with one), easy-ish to connect to apps and then riding on the trainer feels relatively close to riding on the road. From my research it was rated among the best of the smart trainers, and isn't crazy expensive.
