I've been using the Ares 2.0 for several months and have to say it has lived up to the hype. This was an entirely new set up for our gym on a 6-post 30" depth and 93" uprights. So far, no issues at all with cable twisting. I did stretch the cables out on the floor for a day and really took my time with the routing process making sure I wasn't twisting the cables back up. I am also using the swivel shackles on the front trolleys which I think are a must add.
The cables are smooth and the trolleys are easy to adjust with one hand. We use the dual pull points for a lot of our workouts, so I do agree with others that the 2-to-1 connector does need improvement for faster changes. That is the only remotely negative piece of feedback I have. Overall, I wish I'd bought the Ares much sooner.
