This is the only StarTrac elliptical option that we really try to warn people to think twice about buying. It is a great machine and an OK value. The problem is that you are paying a lot to have the thing pre-wired for entertainment options. If you can afford this unit go ahead and get the E-TBTi with all of the entertainment options. If you want them and can't afford it, there are some machines from Freemotion that you might consider.
