Is a Virtual Turbo Trainer worth the cash?

So I am thinking of buying a turbo I can link up to my PC / TV.
Off to France next year for the first time, so thinking that this may be a good way to get some prep in before the better weather comes around. The problem is they are expensive, but I am looking at something like the Tacx I-Magic Virtual Reality Turbo Trainer.
The question is, is it worth it or am I better off sticking to the traditional turbo/gym bike?

and yes so much better than a gym bike - you put a real bike on the machine, so all the geometries are right - I have the steering rack, but would give that a miss with hindsight
I virtually never use it.
Am thinking of buying a Turbo VR Trainer as well. Looking at the Tacx i-Magic and the Tacx Fortius although after reading several reviews spending a few hundred quid more on the Fortius is not worth it,
Will therefor probably go for the i-Magic.
Have seen it at Rutland Cycles for £469.99
Let me know if you've seen it anywhere cheaper.
Hope my comments were helpful and good luck.
PS.nice bike you've got by the way. I've got a cannondale six which is also lovely.
Cheers for the comment on the bike - it's a sod to keep clean tho !
