Kurt Kinetic Extra Flywheel

Does anybody use this extra 12lb flywheel on their Road Machine?  Is there a notable difference in training EN-style that makes it worth purchasing to add on to my current-generation Road Machine? Thanks in advance.

 I use it quite a bit because i like the extra weight/resistance. There is a noticeable difference for me on my top end cadence with v. without. I also use it mostly on the road bike set up in the winter. I usually pull it off with the tri bike because I use it mainly in the off season.

I got the extra heavy flywheel and really like it. The spin-down really is as long as advertised. Very smooth.

I agree with the others. I put it on, Day 1, and have never taken it off. Only thing you miss out on might be any intervals where your cadence has to jump all over the place like in the Spinervals Workouts, you have to ease into the targets. Works great for the stuff we do around here.
