Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I used the dealer locator on that page but they don't have any in my area. Are there other similar types of machines?

Looks gimicky to me. It will optimize fit based on maximum power and comfort but that doesn't necessarily result in the fastest position. Optimizing your position is an iterative process. For example, a change to a more aero position often results in discomfort (and less power) for a while until the rider adapts. It's a little naive to expect that one fitting session would result in an optimal fit.

"Old School" (1980s) fit system. Wind trainer is very helpful, but not necessary. Contents of yellow box is essential.

Talk about seriously over designed and built machines.
