>>1120594In bike world, 1 minute faster actually is 'a fuckload faster'. The difference between a $1000 bike and a superbike is like 20 seconds, if that. And at the 3000+ range you're talking seconds.
And notice that they said faster, not 'better' or 'nicer'. It's objectively faster, and you're objectively paying an extra $3000 for that extra minute.
I think they summed it up nicely themselves 'It doesn't make it hurt any less, it just makes you go faster'. It won't make you fitter, or make you put out more watts, it just makes you go faster. If anything you should use a cheap bike when doing 90% of your training for the extra resistance.
