I have had one for six years and I love it. The seats and weights are adjustable, and you can pretty much get it to do anything that the weight machines at the gym will do. I highly recommend spending a little extra to get the 50 additional pounds, particularly if you're serious about things like chest presses. If you're a hard-core lifter who likes to bench 300 lbs, then you really need to have a bench and free weights. But if you're looking to build muscle/get toned, then this is as good as you will get for a home gym.
If you get one, make sure to use teflon lubricant on the weight bars every month. That's really the only maintenance you need to do, but it's important for it to keep working well.
