I've got the Kinetic Rock and Roll trainer, which allows side/side movement. It's not the typical fixed style trainer. The resistance unit has both magnet/fluid. Like you, I got a great deal on this trainer since it was the first gen and they were trying to clear it out for the new model. I really like it, but need to get the turntable riser.
I gotta get a trainer...moving to Denver soon and I am use to riding year round. We are spoiled here in AZ
