Researching my first treadmill purchase, willing to spend up to $1,500-$2k for something halfway decent. I really like Sole's treadmills, but I'm a little hesitant due to the frequent comments about the decks being very firm. I work with a guy who used to own a Sole, and he liked it but said there wasn't much cushion.

I came across this Xterra, and it seems to offer a lot of what I'm looking for: https://www.xterrafitness.com/xterra-tr75 . However, I know Xterra is owned by the same parent company as Sole, so I'm wondering if they tend to be similar when it comes to deck firmness. Also, is Xterra's overall quality any good for this price range?

Also looking at Horizon (and possibly Bowflex), but something about the design/features just doesn't jump out at me as much as Sole/Xterra. Sorry for all the text, appreciate any feedback.

Finally exploring more of this genre after mostly just listening to Electric Wizard (and some Sleep) for years. Discovered Windhand the other day and they’re so damn good. Awesome songs and vocals.

It seems like a lot of people here make these posts when they first start listening to this band; I get it now.
