Bowflex Revolution

Anyone on this board one one? I'm thinking of getting one, and the reviews that I have read so far on this machine are all positive. However, it's Bowflex, so it's QUITE PRICEY though, not sure if it's worth it. Your thought on it please...

You could pay for 5 years of a gym membership for the price of one of those. Any gym will have more and better equipment than the bowflex. If thats at all possible, I'd do that.

However, if you really must have a home gym, the bowflex stuff I've used is really nice.

I haven't tried this one out, but it looks to be a lot better than previous models.

I have a Boflex at home - the older type with the bars that "flex" and my gripe with that has always been that there's only resistence through about 3/4 (tops) of the motion when doing a lot of the exercises. I don't know anything about the Revolution, but the way it works it seems to fix that problem (I think), so I guess it wouldn't be so bad.

It's still hella expensive and I'd much rather spend my time/money at a regular gym.
