Does anyone have a kilter home wall?  Share your setup!  How do you like it?  Any regrets?  Does this small bouldering board take the place of gym sessions?  How often do you use it?  Is the library of climbs extensive enough?  I see the price keeps going up and up and curious if it's still worth it (kilter 7x10 home wall mainline only shipped to my location is nearly 6k for lights/holds/bolts). 

Also, at 6' 1" are the problems long enough?

just get a moonboard. Cheaper, plus you don't even need the lights. Better for training in terms of contact strength, abnormal hold shapes, hard crimping, body tension. More consistent in grading plus benchmark system, although there is obviously still abnormalities within the grading system. You can get a full 2016 set up including lights for 3.2k USD. Or if you wanted to go even more DIY, you can buy just the holds for about 1k USD and source your lumber/hardware locally.

I do not own a home, but that is what I would personally do. Additionally, when indoor climbing, my training is about 80% moonboard, 20% mix regular gym boulders/indoor lead. I wouldn't replace your gym sessions completely with a system board, as you will become predominantly strong in board style climbs and not so much in others styles. I am victim to this.
