Don't bother with a turbo tyre - just use an old tyre. Turbo tyres aren't any quieter.
As for a spare wheel - see if you can find one someone is chucking out with a worn out rim.I have an Elite Fluid Chrono - its ok, not TOO noisy and is very simple to use.
I would sometimes prefer something with a bigger flywheel for more realistic road feel. I just have to pretend that I am constantly riding uphill or into a headwind :)@Smallfurry that's not a bad plan with the weights - let us know how you get on.
+1 on the wheel support - I just use a massive book, but you def want something to get it level.
The Elite Muin is supposed to have horrendous lack of flywheel effect - a lot of people on the TT forum have sold theirs because of this.
The JetBlack direct drive one does look very good...

Had to pass on mint Kurt Kinetic Rock and Roll for £180 on bikeradar due to lack of space :( its mahosive apparently.
So if I go turbo with spare wheel (that has turbo tyre) I guess I'll also need a cassette and chain for it? Thats ok as I use KMC and have the link remover tool.
Although I could afford Jetblack Whisper drive or Elite Muin direct drive the amount of space it takes mean its a no-go for me; although that wont need the spare wheel ..
I'll keep an eye on forums/ebay.
