Rep did make some good improvements in the updates from the 1.0 to the 2.0. The 5200 line is my favorite for their benches. The back pad is very long and can be used as a flat bench. The pad material is one of my favorites as well. It could be a bit more sturdy when in the adjustable position, but its no worse than others at a similar price point. The knurled handle is a nice touch. This will work with their leg curl attachment, but I am much more excited to combine with the Dialed motion leg cur/extension attachment, however, they did not build this with that ability to fit with that attachment which I think is a major negative and missed opportunity. I get that the tubing does not support it, but still disappointing since this is such a popular bench.
