Barring the desire for the learning curve involved with riding rollers, the Kurt Kinetic Rock 'n' Roll trainer does an alright job of letting the bike bob around to mimic real riding.
I 'think' the KKRR has a weight limit of 300lbs. As I purchased my trainer at 295lbs, when researching, I did not want to chance snapping the RR functionality. Also, the KK takes longer to setup than the Cycleops. The Cycleops lets me mount/dismount my bike in seconds. The KK is a little more involved.

Cycleops 2 - the quick release system is awesome. I can mount/dismount in 10 seconds or less if I want to ride outside.
