Unless they completely overhaul it, this alone is reason NOT to buy the unit.
I have a treadmill (actually incline trainer) with the iFit and find it works pretty well. One note though is that iFit is only free for the first year and there is a subscription fee after that.

I want this thing...I actually wanted it before the TdF...there was a non TdF version on their site before that I had seen web banner adds for. I'm seriously thinking of picking one up for the winter.
