I have the R3volution and love it... it still lets me actually do work with the tables and slide in keyboard.

Took a few hours to build...

Only issue is the 3 screen alignment is tough... the arms aren't really straight and it takes some jiggling to line it up properly.

admittedly the Omega Monitor stand looks better... if it's all inclusive then the price is way lower than the revolution.

I tried the gtultimate and sent it back. Seat was horrible and monitors could NOT be aligned at all.

Ended up putting together my own rig using an IKEA corner table and built a pedal platform so I can sit in a normal driving position using an office chair. It hooks onto the chair legs so there is no movement. Big advantage is that the office chair is extremely comfortable. Expecially for some my size. Like a lot of XGNers I am well over 6ft.

I've got the GTUltimate.
As Gratulin says, the seat sucks (so the standard is probably a better option) but I've custom padded it and now she's sweet.
I also built my own monitor stand so alignment's no issue.
But yeah, not the best straight out of the box but definitely a workable base.

Damn, wish I had the space, money, and a wife that would allow me to buy a proper setup like this  :D

This is how I play. Need a bigger TV!

Or at least get closer - a monitor stand of some sorts could solve that.

True, but this is in the living room and I have to set it up every time I want to play. Attaching the TV to some sort of stand every night too would just take too long  ;D
