I went from a Snap to a Core last season and, in my opinion, it's worth the extra money. You get more accurate power readings and it doesn't require the amount of calibration the Snap does. With the Snap I would often get a little bit of tire slipping if I put too much power into sprints or steeper hills. The Core can also simulate gradients better than the Snap. The max incline for the Snap is 12%, the Core is 16% and the Kickr is 20+%.

I'm a big fan of Zwift for the social aspect of it. I know enough local guys who use it that we're able to do morning rides together and we also host weekly races. The training programs, events, group rides are all pretty solid as well. There's lots to keep you engaged over the winter months.

I've been on Zwift since late 2016 and just passed 25,000km on it this morning.
