Seems to be built well. Machine is fairly smooth. That's about where the good ends for me. The weight stack is way too light, no way this is 1:1 as their website claims. They increased range of motion from V2 but trying to get a good stretch and using the entire stack...you either need to be a contortionist or be able to pull back on the counterweight and push out with your right foot. It is doable but if you do a grinding set and try to get out...it is nowhere near user friendly. I have tried using a Husla pad as well and still could not find a good position for full stretch without making it near impossible to comfortably get into the machine. I really don't like the thickness of the seat pad either, it restricts the full stretch on extensions because your calves stop the machine before getting full range.
For me, at 5'9", the seat has to be almost all the way forward to make sure my knees line up with the pivot point of the machine for proper ergonomics. At this point, it is not a comfortable position with the lap bar there. Since we are here...the lap bar pad would be better if it were flat (my preference).
The seated leg curls are a little better but it would have been nice to have another 1-2 holes to get a little better stretch in the beginning. The rounded lap pad does kind of dig into your quads but is serviceable. At $2500, it's upper middle of the road for leg ext/curl combos...there look to be some others in that range that would be better options had I seen reviews ahead of time.
