Awesome for cables
Great addition for future proofing but most people won’t need all the weight

Worth the piece of mind
I am nowhere near the max weights (though am getting close to a single stack on cable crunches), and am very happy to know I am unlikely to max these anytime soon.

Handy upgrade to make the Ares even more flexible.
It's a really nice upgrade, you can use the single stack for some heavier exercises which is a lot of fun. It's also nice to have a large stack to work towards.
