Advice on Buying Spinning/Spinner Bike

Have searched the posts here, looking for advice on buying a spinner bike. I see the Keiser model recommended and checked it out online, looks good. I guess what I'm after at the moment is something under $1,000. I figure I should be able to get something decent in $500-1,000 range.

I am 53 yo, 6'3", 250 lbs. Ok 270 lbs. I do 30 min stairstepper 4x week and up until 3 mos ago was cycling pretty regularly in the 15 mi range, maybe 25 on the weekend.

Good lord there are a lot of choices out there, with different features, so anybody has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. I have in mind using a spinning video on iPad. I like programmability/bike computers but that is not essential feature. Top priority is a solid, reliable ride. Adjustability is important too - my better half is "height-challenged". Finally, portability (ability to move from one room to another). Thanks for any input.

ps also looking for suggestions on good workout videos. I downloaded BitGym Virtual Active demo on iPad and it looks fantastic (HD Grand Canyon course) but app seems a little iffy - no response to touchscreen input it seems - had to reboot the ipad.
