Has anyone used the Indoor rowing activity profile with the NordicTrack RW900 rower?

I am considering buying an indoor rowing machine and wonder if any Forerunner 245 users have experience using the indoor rowing activity profile with a NordicTrack rower or other brands? Input on pros or cons of NordicTrack or other brands is welcome.

    get a concept 2, it is a golden standard in rowers, provides the most useful stats via logbook sync directly to garmin.

    I used 245 with non-concepts 2 rowers, indoor rower profile is pretty useless, its only rower-specific stat is strokes, and it does a poor job of registering them most of the time :(

    945/F6 has Concept 2 support. 245 will simply calculate strokes on the Concept 2 as well. Yes you can sync the PM5 data to GC, but that won't adjust Firstbeat metrics like Training Load. Using the Indoor Row profile will but you will not get power data. Or does the new beta for the 245 also add proper Concept 2 support?
