The T5.18 treadmill is the last of the sport series model. It does not have substantial improvements from the T5.16. The specs and features are relatively the same.

However there might be no need to customize, the packaging on these machines are solid. The T7.18 is the best Pro Nautilus treadmill. We would suggest that model.
