I just ordered a Legend XL about 2 months ago for this year's season. I LOVE IT!!!!!! Mine has the rubber coated cable and is totally quiet. It is my first climber I bought, and decided to buy this one because 4 guys from work have one and they lovetheirs' too. They all have the older band style though. I would definetly recommend this stand. It's super light, quiet, and simple 2 use.
