On paper, the E3 Elliptical Cross-Trainer doesn't look too much of an upgrade to the Life Fitness E1; however, it is more refined - slightly bigger, heavier, more comfort features, and more options for workouts.
Monitor-wise, please choose from the Track Connect, compatible with devices, or the simpler Go Console.
Typically delivered in 10-15 business days (2-3 weeks).
