Very similar to the F4 version 2.0 with the centered Lat pull down and Row pull points with 1:1 ratio feature. But this F7 has 110lbs selectable weight stack and weight horns to add plate weights. Lot of accessories similar to the F4 version 2.0.
No functional trainer system on the front posts, but you can make hook up fixed-eye pulley, 7 feet of rope, couple D-handles to the Lat or Row points and do quite a bit of functional trainer exercises. This F7 also includes the all important lap brace pad for heavier Lat Pull Downs. Easily $100 or more accessory you would have to buy if a squat rack did not include it like this F7 and F4 version 2.0.
On the official Mikolo website, they show the F4 ELITE squat rack as having this selectable weight stack for $649.

The Mikolo F7 is a squat rack with a 110 pound selectable weight stack that stands out for cable convenience and faster pin changes than plate loaded setups. The 1 to 1 cable ratio and high and low pulley points make it useful for lat pulldowns, rows, and other functional trainer style work. The stack also avoids swapping plates between exercises with different loads. The main drawback is size, since the rear mounted stack can push the rack farther from the wall and look awkward in a garage or house. The F4 2.0 cannot be upgraded with this stack.
Home gym lifters who want faster cable supersets, because a selectable weight stack lets them change resistance with a pin instead of reloading plates.
Garage gym owners who use high and low pulleys for functional-trainer moves, because the selectable stack makes cable work more convenient than plate-loaded setups.
Buyers comparing rack packages who want the included stack and 1:1 cable feel, because the extra convenience can be worth paying more than a plate-loaded alternative.
Garage or house setups tight on wall clearance, because the rear-mounted weight stack can make the rack stick out awkwardly from the wall.
Lifters who want a compact rack footprint, because the back-mounted stack pushes the unit farther from the wall than a front-only plate setup.
People expecting to upgrade an F4 2.0 later, because the F7 stack and F4 Elite stack system are not sold as add-ons for that model.

Mikolo does have other racks that can convert from just plate weight to a selectable weight stack with plate weight horns, so I'm hopeful this one can be converted too.
For about $100 more than the F4 version2.0. , the F7 having 110lb selectable weight stack would make using the cable for some functional trainer exercises more convenient.
I like the weight stack of this one for convenience but if I'm being cheap it might make more sense to get this $300 one and put the $100 towards plates. Anyone have any suggestions?

The F4 version 2.0 is about $300 on Walmart and has a Lat pull down lap brace pad.

I have a dedicated lat tower that also has a row section. Annoying I have to change out plates because I can't row as much as I do pull-ups/lat pull downs =/
