So most of us are pretty firmiliar with the concept of home gyms. What I'm building is a bit different. I'm building a "small 1 bedroom apartment gym".

This has some differing challenges. For example, when I looked for a bench press a few months ago, I COULD have spent a few hundred dollars on a really solid built bench with no give. But in a small apartment gym the first and most important question is "where am I going to put this?"

And in my case, I bought a bench press at the end of December, which appears to no longer be on amazon anymore. But I found this one which looks identical just to give you an idea of what I went with. Just imagine this, with no logo printed on it. I swear this company just bought the one I have, and printed their logo on it. Otherwise mine looks exactly the same.

So, you can see how it folds up.

Well now I've got an oppertunity to buy either this machine for $75. Condition is said to be "as new as possible".

Or I could buy this machine for $575. Condition is listed as new.

There's a $500 gap between the two, but it looks like I could put either one under my bed.

Is there any reason I don't get the $75 one? Or is the total gym THAT good, that it justifies an extra $500?
