Go for the rollers WITH A MAG UNIT. I have the Minoura rollers with mag. Payed $189 including shiping. They are alloy, very smoothe and quiet. I have ridden others that are loud and rumbly. The mag comes off easy for spining. Set the mag to it's highest setting and put your bike in it's biggest gear and you'll have plenty of resistance.
Also, anybody that tells you changing to a bigger gear on rollers makes no difference, doesn't know what they are talking about. I do it all the time.
