I like the idea of the Rizer, but dislike that you can't lock out the steering and also seriously dislike the price.
My understanding is the newer variations of the Direto have noticeably better road feel than the one I have. $600 seems like a really good deal.

One other thing to keep in mind - Direto is noisier than Kickr/Neo/H3. I don't particularly care - I can watch movies without needing subtitles - but if you're in an apartment building it is something to consider.
