I would say yes... MY nephew purchased the Biggest one...I can't see the pic,but i'm assuming you're talking about the same one.. He purchased it on  Craigslist,brand new in the box for $799.00! He just had to go and pick it up himself in Jersey... It's a great machine..

If you are 5'10 it will work fine for you.

and every damn cable attachment i could buy....and a life fitness elliptical

the only thing i still wish i had was a hips sled, and of course an old nautilus pullover machine
