No idea - I doubt there is a published comparable...but at the same time this is the internet, so who knows. Anyways, I would try the Cycleops Fluid 2 trainer and see what that gets you for speed and resistance.
Zwift is hardly real life- everyone that I know who uses it(admittedly small amount) and I are all faster on Zwift that real life, and we use different brand trainers. A couple are smart, a few are dumb, and all are faster than actually riding.
All this is only bad if you are racing and affect others by being faster than you actually would be with a compatible trainer.
If the trainer you use seems close enough for you to feel like the work you put in is relatively accurate to the results you see, then perfect. If it isnt, then its easy to change and select a different trainer at the log-in screen.
