Pros of the FL-2

Versatility

Price

Stability
The FL-2 is versatile which will turn your rack into a full home gym with push and pull machines. Compared to getting all of the machines you can simulate the FL-2 is a steal. It is well crafted and stable and worth the money. However, I still think that if you have the no way you might as well go for the LT-1.
Cons of the FL-2
The cons of the FL-2 are:
-
Hard to adjust
-
Price
-
Only monster compatible
If you want to get the FL-2 you also have to get or already own a rogue Monster rack. These do not come cheap even though I think they are worth the money. The FL-2 can not be adjusted on the fly like the LT-1. The price is still steep as you can get an entire rack for the price of the FL-2 if the look in the Infinity or Echo range.
Alternatives to the FL-2
The LT-1 is the same idea as the FL-2 but easier to adjust. I personally think that it worth the $200 if you are considering the functionality of the FL-2 already.
The monster slinger comes in at $300 and adds pulley exercises to your rogue rack. If you prefer the flexibility of pulleys and want to save some money the slinger is a good alternative to the FL-2.
As a comparison of what you are spending on the FL-2 you can look at the RM-3W. For roughly the same price you get the top of the line foldable rack from Rogue.
