Room fit: the deciding factor
Neither product is a good idea if your usable depth is short. Both sit behind the golfer and need ball flight before impact with the screen or net. If your room is around 13–14 ft deep after screen safety space, move to a side-mounted camera class rather than trying to squeeze either radar unit into the room.
Garmin R10: why choose it
The R10 remains a compelling entry point because of its $499.99 price snapshot, portability, long battery life and broad simulation ecosystem. Garmin's published indoor setup makes planning straightforward: a room at least 15 ft long, the device 6–8 ft behind the ball, and the ball at least 8 ft from the screen or net.

The MLM2PRO combines radar and camera-oriented practice features and now supports GSPro according to current retailer listings. Indoors, Rapsodo requires RPT balls to display spin numbers. The published layout is slightly over 14 ft total, with 8 ft to the net and 6.5–8.5 ft behind the ball.
