Right now I'm using the pro SPX Max Plus with vertical stand. The vertical stand turned out to be the answer for my space issues, though you have to have fairly tall ceilings. We budgeted for a new exercise space but decided to hold off for a few years due to unexpected expenses. I had planned to eventually purchase a reformer/cadillac for the new space. Right now the reformer and tower and double suspension trainers let me mimic most of the reformer/cadillac repertoire. Honestly though, in my opinion, there just is nothing like a cadillac to help you feel like you are at the pinnacle of human movement. But since you are interested in reformer info, I'll try to stay on task I use the reformer regularly because there is just nothing else like it for feeling light, strong and balanced throughout your body. Weights are my first love and I have had excellent results lifting (esp with STS) throughout the years. But weight programs don't keep me as flexible/fluid in the spine and smaller muscles. Pilates makes me feel like I can float. And I think it might be more accessible as I age. So I do both types of training. As far as cons, pilates equipment is far more expensive. And it doesn't end with reformers. There are always more accessories to store. Reformer boxes, cardio jump boards, circles, arc barrels, rotational discs will all call to you It's an investment for both space and money. BTW, I didn't pay any where near the cost that Stott lists on its website. It pays to shop around, esp for "dent box" versions etc. Have to run for now, HTH.
