Display and User Interface Comparison
The Bowflex BXT116 has a 7.5″ Full Color, Backlit LCD and the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 has a 10″ full color touch display. The Commercial 1750 has a touchscreen which is great while the BXT116 has buttons for controlling the treadmill, so navigating this display is not as intuitive as the Commercial 1750. We think the bigger screen size of the Commercial 1750 is a plus. 
Built in Programs
The Commercial 1750 has 29 more programs, 38 vs 9. The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 is iFit Coach Compatible so you can get many more different workout options with this treadmill.
Bottom Line
We gave the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 a rating of 95 over 100 while we gave 90 for the BXT116 because, the Commercial 1750 has a touch screen, larger display, more programs, decline control, and a good price for the features you get. Also wider belt of the Commercial 1750 makes it a better option for running.
