This is a repeat of an earlier deal that went OOS.

As noted by Fryth [link], this machine comes with a pulley setup that offers 1:2 resistance ratio. So, each 165 pound weight stack offers 82.5 pounds of resistance.
Top Comments
1. Weight - This thing is as heavy as you'd expect. It comes on a pallet with three large boxes and a bunch of boxes full of weights. You might be able to move the pieces by yourself but really should be at least two people. It took 4-5 hours to get fully put together.
2. It comes with more resistance that i expected. I debated on ordering additional weight from the manufacturer Day 1 but glad I didn't.
3. Motion - Smoother than i expected. The cable move really smoothly for a non-commercial piece of equipment. For tricep pushdowns it is a little short but it's doable and there many alternatives.
4. Bench - For me, it is basically garbage. It's far too short for practical use and I ended up getting a regular size one off Amazon that is much better.
5. Wall poster - Since i'm not the only one in the house to use it I got a $10 wall poster from Amazon that has a bunch of different types of exercises.
6. Flooring - Costco had some really nice 1/2" foam gym padding I got to put this and other equipment on. If you're even considering it, doing the flooring first will be a hell of a lot easier than after.
Overall i'm very happy with it as it substitutes many other pieces of equipment, and is quick to switch exercises. Hope this was helpful
All the best,

Everything that I've read indicates otherwise. Not only do the extra plates not fit the stack, but the pulley system can't handle the additional weight.
CORRECTION. Found this in the Amazon Q&A:
Assuming the cable can handle the additional weight (or take the risk, accordingly), the cable would need to be shortened to accommodate the higher stack. Is that just a matter of tightening the mechanism or do you need to cut and re-tie the cable?
You'd also have to be willing to forego the product's lifetime warranty.

Sending good vibes to all of you.
All stay happy healthy and safe.
I have ordered one with 2 mats from costco.
Looks like for me and my 16 years old son it is more than enough.
Edit: I just looked up some squat racks. I was unaware of these. I also totally forgot about the pins in the squat rack. Disregard everything I wrote. You can use them for all those things I said you can't. lol! Been awhile.

Reminds of why Apple keeps changing their stupid charging ports... so we can keep buying exclusively their things.
The reason is, with a free-hanging cable system, if you don't have PERFECT motion of moving the weight up and down, you will create an awful swing on the weights. While it's a manageable issue, it is extremely annoying and IMO spending the ~200 vs. ~100 (that you would on a jerry-rigged cable system) is infinitely worth it.

The FTX does indeed come with the same belt as the FT1. However, it doesn't come with some of the other optional equipment: Tablet Holder Attachment, Straight Bar, Ankle Strap, Sport Handle, Exercise Booklet, 2 x 5lb Add-On Weights, Exercise Booklet.
(See the Wiki for a list of the included equipment that comes with the FTX.)
