This:
...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
Is why I am considering selling / swapping my Elite Direto for a wahoo kickr snap.
Any comments / advice whether to / interest from anyone (i.e. not a Q directed only at @hippy)

Well, I manage just fine using old school (non-direct) turbo setups with normal tyres. Turbo tyres might make a bit less noise if you're in a shitty thin-wall flat or something but no one has complained about my training and it's much quicker to rip the bike off the turbo and ride it than fanny about with hard-to-fit plastic tyres of doom.

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.
