Nautilus XPLOAD Pulldown Machine Analysis

Is the Nautilus Xpload the greatest Lat Pulldown Machine of all time? It’s certainly one of the better Plate Loaded Pulldown Machines I’ve come across. It has a great path of motion and provides excellent drop off in resistance as you move towards the short end of the range of motion. It uses changes in force angles and mechanical advantage to create this drop off in resistance, rather than using a CAM or having the weight plate move closer to the axis. The reason this drop off is valuable is that it helps to match our muscles ability to produce output throughout the range of motion. We are strong at the top and get weaker at the bottom. Having a machine that provides drop off like this helps create a more efficient muscular challenge. If you'd like to compare this to the Prime Fitness Pulldown, you can check that one out here: https://youtu.be/NH7mnTC_vSw?si=eH9qdM0O7BZpKxcd What are your thoughts on this piece?
