I was in a similar position to you and went with this because of higher quality and quicker availability.

I had one in my cart, dragged my feet, and now it's OOS

I tried to use my 12” iPad, attached it over the screen with simple brackets. Not much of a difference with slightly larger screen. You locked into their content anyways. I prefer to watch tv during my workouts on both treadmill and the bike.

Bit the bullet on this. Called my warehouse and it was only $50 cheaper. Thanks OP! Been watching Costco.ca for quite a while waiting for stock

Was looking for phone and tablet mounts for my ex4s and picked up couple from Amazon, almost perfect. Both, attached to the center mount bar leading to the bike’s tablet as, I was specifically looking for center mount type and I did not want one attached to handlebars. I find handlebars on this bike somewhat small...

So, I just received both mounts. Tablet mount is very solid metal. Needs a little mod to attach but, nothing too difficult.

Phone mount:

Tablet mount, also works for mine iPhone 11 Pro Max:

Also, bough this mat but, it’s not in stock now. Not urgent anyways:

In Costco US echelon ex-4s bikes are on sale $200 off.

Sort of irrelevant for those of us who bought echelon ex-4s in Canada but, something to keep an eye for while in a store. Who knows, maybe ...

Seems like these will re stock in warehouse on Feb 9.

I called my local Costco in GTA and they said all warehouses in surrounding area (Dixie, Sherway, Leaside) will be getting 12 units on Feb 8 and will be on the floor on Feb 9.

Good luck all

Are you sure the handlebars aren't installed in the wrong direction in your pic?

I know, this was my solution to a challenge... I share this bike with my wife and she wanted something with shorter reach, something that would resemble upright bike. It took me 8 minutes to think it over and to present my solution of reversing the handlebars to her and she liked it.
I’ve been riding road bike long distance for years and learned not to be fussy about details and to be able to adapt.

It's actually quite ingenious... I might consider doing the same thing since my wife is complaining of the "long reach".
