Thanks for this. I think the safety aspect is a good point, whenever I do sprints on the rollers I have to hold back to avoid falling off.
Think a proper smart trainer is the way forward and probably more economical than getting into the power meter feature/accuracy contest.
That tacx neo though...

The cheapest decent power trainers are something like these:
I'm using a kickr snap at the moment and it's pretty good.http://www.wiggle.co.uk/tacx-vortex-smart-trainer/

The major difference is you can't adjust resistance with rollers, that and if you go too deep you can fall off them. I wouldn't be able to replicate my turbo training on rollers because there isn't a way of putting in more effort, just spinning faster.
