Powell, yes I did. I tried the stromer and neo models while visiting in Laguna Beach. I much preferred the Specialized Turbo. It rode more like a normal bike to me. The quality seemed far superior. It was more expensive but I like it so much more I spent the extra money to GET WHAT I WANTED. Some people are happy with chevy's or Prius and some people like Porsches. They both do the same things basically. It was not that hard of choice to me, because I fell in love with the Turbo.
