Not sure, they both look like the i-Flow trainer, both have the steerer mechanism, which incidentally is next to useless, and both seem to have the same motor. What may be different is the control system that mounts to the bars as there isn't an obvious image in one of the products.

If you are thinking of one of the Tacx VR trainers, be aware that they don't operate with Apple software as yet. I ended up buying a stand alone Windows 8 desk top system that just sits in the garage to be used with the i-Flow. It's also important that you have a graphics card powerful enough to handle the images. Make sure you check the minimum system requirements as lap tops can struggle. Besides, you want a decent size screen.
