Need help deciding - Eonfit, or?
As a 45 year old Canadian I've decided it's time to get serious. I need help deciding on a functional trainer, I'm thinking the Eonfit E3 would be all I need for years to come, but looking for help
Back story - a year ago I bought a cheap 100lb barbell weight set and bench cheap and a couple dumbbells on clearance to see if I could stick it out. My wife joined in shortly after and we now have dumbbells from 5lbs to 35lbs. Bought a Marcy 150lb capacity home gym from Costco, and find it's not doing it for us
So I've been digging and digging and get more confused the further I go. Bought a 260lb olympic bumper plate set on sale, got a 4' barbell, have a 7' coming, and now I've realized I'm not going to be curling using bumper plates so I need smaller weights, and that I'll need to buy another set if I buy a dual stack machine... So I decided to not jump into the biggest and most expensive piece of gear I plan to buy for years to come without getting feedback
My biggest hold back is shipping and exchange rate, and I know I'll never need pro bodybuilding gear, so I'm thinking budget should do for me
I'm thinking about these:
EonFit E3 for it's single stack system, but the Smith machine add-on looks like it will be annoying
EonFit E5 but then I'd need more weights (for balancing the weight stacks?) and I don't like how far back the Smith machine is (feel like it would make it hard for a bench to get all the way back)
Mikolo M4 again would need more weights
RitKeep Pmax 4750 but I really don't like the Smith machine safety posts being in the way of the trolleys
Lastly I can order a returned machine from Eonfit website, but think I'm safer ordering new from Amazon instead for customer support and for having all taxes and duties paid upfront, so if anyone has any experience with that I'd appreciate feedback on that too
Sorry for the length
