I have a bowflex.  I like it but it is no where near like quality gym equipment.  I actually mostly use it to supplement my free weights and TRX.  So I sometimes ignore it for months, sometimes I only do a few exercises on it and the rest all free weights.  So basically, my recommendation is to keep the free weights.  If I had to choose it would be TRX, free weights, bowflex.

What reason are you thinking of giving up the free weights?  Perhaps you just need to change up your routine a bit?

I have a bowflex extreme 2 and use it in addition to free weights.  It was invaluable in rehabbing torn AC ligament in my shoulder.  Great for warming up to the free weights.  For me (51 yrs) I'm not looking to get ripped so much as NOT get injured.  I've been down that road and this setup has been great insurance for me.
