TacX has some smart trainers that are right around $400.00 as does BKool
I ride a BKool Pro trainer which pairs with Zwift effortlessly. That trainer is about $600.00.
My Stages Power meter ran about $500.00
Good luck to you.
Yes, in that scenario, the big question is what has more value: your indoor riding experience, or being able to ride outside with power.
But, if you have $2k to spend on numbers, you can just get both!
