Need to do some thinking/research. Are you selling this? (you were selling a turbo werent you?)
What would work best between 2 bikes? One 11speed road bike and other 135mm disc 9 speed bike.

No - this is my new turbo, I did have a CycleOps Fluid2, which was/is very good - I wanted the "smart" features so bought the Vortex.
Smart in this context means dual broadcast over BLE and ANT+, and allows the trainer to be driven by a Garmin, an application on a tablet/smartphone, or application on a laptop such as Trainer Road. I use the later, with an ANT+ USB key.
Dammit
I leant my turbo to Damon whilst I was on holiday recently, having told him about it previously - it's a Tacx Vortex Smart which can be controlled by your laptop or smartphone/tablet.
For e.g. if doing a 2x20 the turbo will control the power, you just need to sit there and pedal, it'll make sure that you are bang on 250 watts/whatever.
Damon came away a convert to how much more convenient this made things - you're welcome to have a go yourself Amey if you would like.
