I don't know the difference between the 630a and 750at. Perhaps Ed from Cybex who posted in the comment above can answer that? Or - if you're thinking about dropping this amount of $$$ on equipment - it might be worth a call directly to Cybex to ask them! @Maryam, thanks for your comment and for stopping by my blog.

I am looking to buy one but don't know the difference between the two. I know that the 630 is the older version which has been replaced by the 750. I can get the 630 for much less money but would pay for the 750 if it is a superior machine. What do you recommend? David do you know the difference between the 630a and 750at (features)?

Thanks for stopping by and reading and commenting. I'm not familiar with the Vision Fitness s7200hrt so I really can't compare them. If you learn more about it, please do post here and let us know!

Can you give me a COMPARISON of the Vision Fitness s7200hrt suspension elliptical vs the cybex 750A total body Arc Trainer? Would this be comparable? But of course more affortable? Similar motion with arms that move like you are running on the Vision, vs arms that move with the same leg? Thank you for a quick response! Hi Dave!

I was looking at the home version having used the 630 in the gym. If the 350A is nothing like that i'd prefer the 630. I've noticed some websites sell refurbished 630's for around the same price as a new 350. Does anyone have any idea whether these are any good and worth the money? Great review.

One other question: What is the name of this machine. I can't afford this brand the Cybex brand but am willing to look at other brands but its not exactly an elliptical or a strider, what is it called? It’s me again.

The reason I came here is because I tried the commercial grade one at the gym & wanted to purchase it thats before I knew the cost though. What I liked about it is that it works you out yet it's easy on your body. What I mean by that is to lose 2 pounds a week, I aim for 500 cardio calories & I tried the treadmill & other machines but they were too"difficult & after 80 calories I was done & tired & unmotivated. With this machine though, I can stay on there for an hour & burn my 500 calories in an hour. David, since I can't afford the professional one, what do you recommend for home usage? I feel like trying an ordinary elliptical is too much of a downgrade. Would you recommend a gym grade elliptical or the home version of the cyber?? Thanks please REPLY: what home machine do u recommend? Thanks a lot for the review!
