Default Differences - Condor or Wheeldock

I'm researching a chock to use in my garage and trailer. I'd like to hear opinions from anyone having experience with both of these, plus and minus.

I just ordered a condor. I wont have it till friday. It looks like a great piece of equipment. There was just a thread on here somewhere about wheel chocks.

Never used the Wheeldock but Condor is the best I've ever used. Out of the trailer, into the garage in seconds. Just got back from Sturges last week. 3 SG's and a King all in Condors, In a 7x16 trailer with just inches between each bike. Went up and back, over 4000 miles and not a scratch on any bike and we ran 75 to 85 all the way. Really don't see how anything could be better.

I put a Condor in my Pace trailer and it is great. Can get off and on my bike as soon as I drive it in and then put the tie down straps on. Have made several trips with it and it stays just where you put it, even after some bumpu roads.

I have the Wheeldock and a Condor. With the Wheeldock, drive bike in, step on the lever to activate the retaining bar. Step off the bike. To remove, release the retaining bar with your foot and roll the bike out. There's no jerking to get it over a pivot point.

Will the Condor hold the bike steady without being secured to the floor?

A reseller at Sturgis convinced me that it would not slide around the garage floor. He demoed it for me on the parking lot but, of course, that wasn't as slick as my epoxy garage floor.
