Kurt Kinetic Road Machine

So I got a bike trainer from REI over the long holiday weekend and I think I'm going to set it up tonight.  Any advice?  I hope it's not that loud, it's the Kinetic Road Machine from REI and it had some pretty good reviews.  I figure if it doesn't I can just take it back but I hope it will be something that I can use during the evenings when it's dark outside.  It was on sale so I picked it up but I'm still wondering if I should spring for the Rock & Roll trainer which lets you tilt the bike.

Time will tell if I made a good decision...
