Better trainers provide more of a real-world feel and will be more enjoyable to ride. I definitely say try before you buy.

I've ridden ones like in the photo you provide and they just feel like bleh and they are not nice to ride at all.

I don't know what your budget is, but if you can afford it, try to find a higher quality one either new or preferably used.
