Any top tips for a first trainer?

Budget is as little as possible, as I'd like to make sure I use it before splurging.

So far I've narrowed down these;

lite Crono Fluid ElastoGel £120 (although looking at completed ebay listings I'd only pay £100 I think)

CycleOps Mag Plus - £50

Otherwise there seem to be quite a few Elite volare's on gumtree.

I like the idea of a shifter as I was thinking about using a fg/ss rather than my current road bike.

Any buying tips appreciated.

I completely understand the logic, but bare in mind that the feel of a cheap turbo can make it a miserable experience. If possible, try to find a fluid trainer second hand.
