Incorrect. 50lbs at a 1:1 means it feels like 50lbs (not 150). Although the next sentence is right, with a 2:1, you feel half of the weight loaded. It's a mechanical advantage. With plate loading it's not that big of a deal but you need to have smaller weights for in between. When you have a selectorized weight rack and it starts at 10 lb plus the felt weight is even more than that it can be difficult for some, like smaller individuals, to do certain exercises like front raises or side dealt raises where the lowest weight possible is still too high.
The 2:1 also provides a lot more cable travel as you pull away from the rack. I don't recall but it might be double. This gives you a chance to do movements further away or requiring more cable travel. The 1:1 has far less cable travel and depending on your movement you might run out of cable length.
So - advantages of 2:1 - longer cable travel. In a selectorized machine you can get it to start at a lower weight. Con - with a plate loaded machine you need a lot more plates because the felt weight is only one half of whatever you have loaded.
1:1- with a plate loaded system you only need half the amount of Weights because you feel the pound for pound that you load. Disadvantage - shorter cable travel and in selectorized machines the starting weight can be too high for some movements for some people. Each jump of 10 lb is an actual felt weight of 10 lb on a selectorized machine. On the 2:1, each 10 lb jump is only a 5 pound increase in felt weight.
I managed to create a "poor-man functional trainer" set up with a fix-eye pulley, rope, and two D-rings. I connect the pulley to either the LAT pulldown cable or the ROW cable down low for a variety of fly exercises. Can do regular fly, one-arm crossovers, triceps, biceps, back, etc alternating SO QUICKLY... fun as heck!
Here is the pulley I used:

What do you think about this really inexpensive bench with adjustable leg extension and a pin to fix the extension in one position for incline situps, etc.? I know there are much better quality benches for hundreds of dollars more, but looking for a budget bench that does the job for cheap. ($120 when posted).

Version 1.0 had 4 inch spacing between the 1-inch holes.
When my two boxes arrived, the boxes actually said Model F6, not F4 version 2.0. Probably their internal way of better distinguishing from F4 version 1.0.
I bought a few extra sets of used J-hooks (you can find them as cheap as $10-$15 a pair on various online sites if you are patient) so that I could rest my barbells on them at the positions I use them most or up high in the back to keep them out of the way. I just got the used Titan cambered barbell for $130 which is SO MUCH more comfortable for squats. At the suggestion of another SD post, I bought the lighter 6-foot barbell (the upper bar stored up high in the back, out of the way) for less than $10 on Walmart for 2-hand overhead press since the 45lb barbell was too much for other family members. I put my shorter EZ-curl bar (another SD for $10) in the provided barbell holder which I prefer to use with the mine accessory + weights + pull handlebar because it is much less of a bother to move and set up than a full 7-foot barbell.
While I use the safety bars inside the frame, I cannot do 2-hand overhead press inside the frame because of the side support beams are too low for full extension range of motion. So I do those in front of the frame with a pair extra J-hooks facing outward on the front posts and a pair of used spotter arms (as cheap as $15-$20 a pair on various online sites) under it for further safety.
I have abd straps-slings from the pullup bar which work great for various abd crunch-leg-lifts. I also secured a pair of rings to the upper part of the abd strap so I did not need to use rope to do inversion pullups, horizontal planks, etc.
Some pics of my cheap squat rack and extra preiously-used accessories.

Someone posted the wrong product image on this thread and on the left of the title of the thread. The F4 version 2.0 does not have functional trainer cable system as in that image. I removed that previous image and posted the correct image. Go to the Walmart link to see the product accurately.
