Cheap turbo specific bike, with long seatpost and adjustable stem, maybe?

buy my kickr so I can buy a wattbike atom

My wife and I are fairly similar size, and a cheap seatpost with quick release seatpost clamp gets us most of the way there, with a shorter positive stem.
I feel very upright, but better for watching Netflix... -
Hire one for a month, realise you don't actually like using it, return it so it doesn't become another turbo gathering dust in a house somewhere?
Why not use a normal tyre-roller turbo - then both your bikes will just drop into it (assuming both 700C) when you want to use it. They fold up too. My JetFluid lives in the cupboard most of the time as I have a Computrainer setup out permanently.

So Mrs Sparky is keen on an "exercise bike" and I could be tempted by a turbo. We looked at WattBike because it'd be easy to swap between her size and mine but they're pricey. They occasionally do reconditioned ones but they have none at the moment.
So I look at Kickrs but then we'd have to have both bikes in the flat, and she wouldn't find swapping them over easy. Plus her only bike is an 8-speed hybrid so the cassettes wouldn't match.
Am I missing a solution here?
