Kinda answered you're own question. Rollers don't have the resistance that static trainers have [you can add resistance in various ways], but they have better feel and they actually help with on road skill and stability. Personally, I absolutely cannot stand the bike not having some movement to it. Currently the only other option I've seen is the Kurt Kinetic Rock and Roll, which is more than double what I paid for my rollers.
