(So yes, it does happen)

I have bad knees too, they both click when I do deep knee bends or squat.

I thought that using a crank vs my dropweight would be a dream....but it sounds like many crank users would like to use a Wise...

That's just a natural progression. If you crank consistently and check your calibration from time to time, you can pretty close to the reference tension. Cranks or lock-out machine, have a tendency to lose 5-10% tension once they lock out and the string relaxes.
