Thank you. You are right, the 690T is on 699.00. I feel a bit hurried in making my decision, because it is "while supplies last" with the 985 Audio Trainer. It gets "First Place" for Icon treadmills under a $1,000.00 at whichicontreadmilll.com. I think the larger motor is best in case my son (around 275 pounds) wants to use it. Can you think of any reason why the 690T may be a better choice? I can not.

Would you please give me your opinion on my on the pros and cons of the Proforms 985 Audio Trainer and the most recent Proforms 690T :

I am having difficulty deciding between the ProForm 985 Audio Trainer and the Proform 690T. I can get either one for 799.00

I had my heart set on the 690T. I am reconsidering. The 985 Audio Trainer sold at ProForm is looking more tempting. Larger motor, two year parts and labor, chest strap heart monitor, adjustable cushioning deck and iFit capable. I have been reading complaints about iFit Live found on the 690T. Some say it is only in "beta" and others are complaining that they can't get it to work after paying 129.00 for the necessary cartridge. I don't relish a $10.00 monthly cost for iFit capability. QUESTION: I can only find about 3 customer reviews for the 985 Audio Trainer. I know it is last years model, but ProForm is selling them at 799.00, delivered! DOES ANYONE HAVE ONE OUT THERE? DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND MORE CUSTOMER REVIEWS? Thanks.

Congrats on making it to the President's Circle, madgolfer! You know all of your contributions are incredibly appreciated on the site!

Have a great day!
