The sole is a great machine. The F80 and 7.4 are the comparable models. The F63 is the one that compares to the 7.0.
The horizon changes speed very quick and it's mechanically is very good and their customer service also great. If you want to do intervals or frequent speed changes? If yes, Then get the horizon otherwise get the sole.
Also Nordictrack has good initial reviews but their stuff breaks within a year or so and customer support is non existent.

What we don't like on Sole f80 Limited Workout Variety, Short Side Rails, Poor Customer Service in the other hand only issues with Horizon 7.0 is Screen: The 7-inch screen is not a touchscreen and the size of the screen is small compared to today’s standards.
