I just replaced my first-generation Wahoo KICKR with a Neo Tacx 2T. I am disappointed, but not entirely surprised, to find that my power is 10-15% lower than Wahoo was reporting. The first-generation KICKR's are known to have accuracy issues, and the Neo is reportedly pretty accurate, so I have to accept the new readings as reality. At least, until I acquire some Assioma's and compare them to the Neo.
While it is disappointing, I know that it's better to see the real numbers. Instead of an FTP of 338 watts, I'm now not sure that I can break 300 watts. Oh well, I'll keep training and hope to get back up there eventually. But next year I'll be 70 -- how much longer can I keep improving?
This is certainly an issue for people who don't have a smart trainer, but as you can see even some of the smart trainers have accuracy problems.
