ellipitical/x-trainer vs exercycle. Help me choose please

[qaz123]

Hey guys im wanting to get one of these but dont know what to get.. i know alot of people prefer the x-trainer but im not sure..

i want to get rid of the fat on my butt (especially the butt!), thigh, and tummy lol.
i know you can spot reduce but which one would be best to tone?

i dont want to gain any muscle either.

Also, whats the diff. between a magnetic resistance trainer and a non magnetic one?

TIA

I hate ellipticals because they seem too easy.

I would suggest running, riding a bike outside, walking and circuit traing over buying anything, but i would go with an exercise bike over an elliptical.
