Default fix my bike or get a new one?

i'd like to take a poll. should i fix the resistance on my recumbent bike or buy a new/used spin bike. i could buy a spin bike at walmart for $200. that sounds pretty affordable and the spin bike would be more challenging to use. (a good thing) i could also get either kind of bike from craig's list, not sure on that price or availability. anyone know if it's pretty easy or a hassle to fix the resistance on a recumbent bike?

I've got rollers for my road bike. It gives me the flexibility to get my exercise indoors or head out when the weather is better. It's been great for me and I get any resistance I want by simply changing gears. Love it.
