Alright, got my Nimitz N1 from RitKeep after about 6-8 months of research. I originally wanted something on a lower price bracket, but didn't want to compromise on having a functional cable machine, a squat rack and a smith machine, and wanted something that lasts not any cheap rack that will rust in 2-3 years (like the ones you see for sale on Marketplace). Long story short, I converged to the Nimitz N1. Pros: build quality, thick steel gauge, counterweighted smith (!!!), all cable and rack attachments (despite some being quite basic), 1:2 and/or 1:1 pulley ratio, steel weigh stacks (not the concrete with plastic liner). I've had it for 2-3 weeks now, and I am impressed with the versatility. Cons for me based on personal preference and related to my gym set up at home: plate horns facing the back is not my preference (I would prefer side facing, although machine is already quite large), also, I would love for the machine to be 200-300mm taller (I'm 188cm/6ft2in) to help me with pull ups and some cable exercises where i prefer the pulleys to move a bit higher.

Other info: - All in all, an absolute monster. - Took me about 4hrs of assembly time (split over a couple of days) - Assembly instructions was quite good and straight forward, despite hundreds of pieces. - I already had some gear prior to this on the photo. I only bought the actual rack (no bench, no plates/barbell) - 1:1 pulley ratio is interesting for certain exercises, in other words: you don't need a huge weight stack, which can be quite expensive. - Power Coating is beautiful. Seems high quality and no knicks or dents incurred through the assembly, which indicates that it coating is of good quality.
