Hmm. My creative (and very un scientific) brain is struggling a bit here.
Simple Q: I have a Kurt Kinetic Road Machine. I've always got on very well with it and it doesn't feel like pushing through treacle. Do I need to spend more money on a new DD trainer?
Thank you please.

Do you have the larger flywheel attached to it? I found that improved the feel of the KK even more.

No. KK are very good trainer.
And go out and do the same effort on the road. If you can get the power near then it's cool.
My issue is that, the road is varaible terrain. And I find, personally, that if Idon't keep my body adjusted to variable terrain and the demands it places on changing torque then I suffer with getting the power out on the road a bit.

A watt is a watt. But the production of that watt can be different.
And no. As danb said, it's not that simple. But I'd disagree about having a low kenetic energy trainer. That would trash my legs. As the pedal stroke would be different to on the road, recruiting different muscles.
