When I was shopping for a LA, my first choice was the Gammill. I loved how smooth it was on the frame, the light bar, everything. But the sales rep was very off putting to me and so much stuff was extra $$ in addition to the machine. I ended up buying a lightly used Avante from a dealer and have no regrets. I adore my machine, I've had it for almost 3 years and have had no issues with it other than operator error. And even with all the extras I purchased with the machine I still paid less than what just the Gammill machine and frame cost. If I had it to do over again I would still buy the Avante.
