Default Pull-Up Tower dimensions

Do you know what the dimensions of the pull-up tower will be? Both from a space perspective and from the pull-up perspective. How tall will the tower be and what will the highest level be? I'm taller (5'8"), so I'm wondering if even seated pull-ups will be possible with my long arms, or if I'm limited to the supine-style pull-ups. (not that I can do actual pullups anyway).

I asked SNM the same question in this blog, but did not get a reply from SNM yet. I do regular pull ups and wanted to know if the equipment was high enough to allow for regualr pull ups (I am 5ft 7in.) My husband committed to doing STS with me and wanted to know if a 5ft 11in man could use the SNM tower.

A quote from SNM on doing verticle pullups with the new equipment:

"Ours is really made to do supine pull-ups, not vertical standing pull-ups."

You can find this under the ? about the iron woody bands.

I got that part, but I'm curious as to the height from the seated pull-ups perspective (like they show Cathe doing on the blog). She's only 5'2", so has shorter arms - will that move work for someone taller, based on the height of the unit?
