Cablecross over/Functional trainer help

NightFallTech said:
I'm considering getting myself a crossover (since there is a $6xx one available with fixed upper and lower pulleys)...
Cages Smith Machine, Rack Smith Machine, Cable Crossover Machine with Swivel Pulley System

(would give me somewhere to hand a pair of rings from as well, something i don't have currently)

A narrow crossover provides (for me, i have a pretty big wingspan), most of the utility of a functional trainer, i'm also wondering if i'm going to miss adjustable height pulleys though....

(no space for a power rack at present, i'll be getting one if i ever move to somewhere with more room)

The exact same one with swivel pulleys is available on ebay for like 400. Not sure what shipping would cost though.

I suppose a big wingspan and a cable crossover is the perfect combination if you're not sure if you should go for it or a functional trainer. Lucky haha.

What do you mean you dont have room for the power rack, you'd made a few threads deciding which to get havnt you?
 
And I've decided on iron edge assault rack or matrix, but i've decided to wait until i buy a place in the hopefully near future.

I've stocked most of the rest of my home gym.

Ahh, fair enough then. Yeah the matrix looked fantastic but with room constraints, I really needed one with a lat-attachment as well. Well, hopefully you find a new place soon!
