This has everything the ftx is missing which isn’t much but makes a huge difference. Specifically referring to the increased max weight and ability to do traditional squats/deadlifts/bench press.

Very useful info. I still think it's better to invest the other 1000 on the power rack and Olympic weight set instead. But if space is an issue then this is a better deal for the reasons you listed.

I don't see a reasonable way to train legs with this. It may cover 90% of everything else, but a rack bar and weights would be more beneficial. For 2k you can buy quite a setup of free weights that...
