What the thread found

• The Archer product pages contained outdated information reflecting earlier configurations with G40 and G50 arms
• The G40 arm was originally sold with Archer rigs but was discontinued after customers preferred pairing with the G50 arm
• Current rigs are supplied with the newer G50X arm, which represents the updated product standard
• The G50 and G50X arms share identical lift capacity, with G50X providing improved movement performance
• The price list page shows the accurate current specifications for what customers actually receive

Depends on

• The thread does not provide dates for when the product changes occurred
• No technical specifications or performance metrics are given beyond lift capacity
• The response is based on second-hand explanation rather than official company documentation
