Looking to purchase a Lat Pull low row and was hoping to get some comments on everyone's experience with these two machines. Pro Maxima seems to be about half the cost. Just don't want to be disappointed with the quality. Thoughts?

What's your budget, and why plate loaded vs. selectorized? Only downside I see to the Legend is having to hook up the cable for the low row when you want to use it. Not a big deal, but would be an annoyance to me.

Did you get a shipping Quote from ProMaxima? I did to NJ. It was like $500. No joke, plus their sales dept sucks a$$. I've tried dealing with them multiple times, they seriously sucked.
First time was for the Pulldown, 2 weeks got a quote for like $475 or something and $500 shipping.
8 months ago asked for a quote on a power rack. A month later they called asking if I wanted to buy it. I said I never got a quote. 3 weeks later got a quote for the Pulldown I inquired about 2yrs earlier. They apologized and said they would quote me again. 2 weeks later got a quote for the pulldown.▪██─────██▪ Ivanko Barbell Crew #3 ▪██─────██▪

Lol 2 years isn't too bad of a turnaround for a quote request...

Still waiting for a shipping quote from Pro Maxima. Took me a few attempts to get a quote . The price is less than half of the Legend piece which is why I am considering them as an option. I'm sure the Legend piece is nicer I'm just having a hard time justifying morel than 2X the price. Shipping isn't cheap from them either(over $300). Has anyone used both of these? The selectable combo(945) would be great as well but a bit out of my price range.

Pulled the trigger on the 3136. Lost my patience waiting for ProMaxima's salesman. If I'm having this difficult a time getting service on a sale they must not want or need the business. On another note I'm anxious to get the 3136. Don't think I'll regret it.
Thanks for the advice!

The product really looked to be built pretty well. I just can't stand to chase someone around to give them my hard earned $. They must be short salespeople or just be to busy to bother with small sales. Word of mouth and social media can really help or hurt your business today. I was having a hard time justifying spending the extra money for the Legend and the delayed response just pushed me that way. I'm sure I won't regret it with the quality of Legends stuff.
