Stairmaster or Step Cimber

[Truck24hr]

I've never used one of the step climbers. Looking at investing in one or the other. I was looking at the climber from NordicTrack. I also see used Stairmasters from time to time.

Is one better than the other?

I have the NordicTrack climber. It is a little bit hybrid climber and elliptical trainer. My wife and I like it. It is very easy on the joints. You can set the resistance high to make it more like a climber or low to be more like an elliptical. The online workouts (iFit) are nice to have and make it easier when motivation is low.
