Six months in...excellent half-rack and functional trainer. I chose the one without the Smith machine due to space limitations (and availability at the time). Easy to put together for two people after we unboxed the thing from seven packages and carried the pieces down to the basement gym. You'll need to line the J-cups and safeties with some UHMD tape as they're not lined - this will protect your rack from scratches. I overcame the 2:1 ratio by installing the weight horns that were provided on one side. Apparently I was shipped the Standard (plate-loaded) with the Elite upgrade (which adds the stacks) so I had that option. This thing seems like it was made for my gym.
