Thanks all. I did the spur of the moment purchase and picked it up for 599 (plus shipping and tax, but... good enough). This should be great for those miserably wet days my part of the country is notorious for. I didn't find that I could focus on the training with the simplistic fluid trainer. If it got hard, I'd take it easy. I'm hoping that doing my normal segments will make the urge to push remain like it does out on the road.
