Which Bench Is Better??? Need Some Opinions, PLEASE!!!

[Texas Ranger]

Fellas, I need some opinions, if you don't mind. I'm looking to buy a durable bench that will last years. These are the two I'm looking at right now. 1.) http://www.promaximamfg.com/real/html/FW/FW-12ASpecs.htm 2.) http://www.exerciseandleisure.com/nt1010.htm I called both companies directly and got these stats to compare. The ProMaxima is commercial grade, costs $175 plus shipping, has a lifetime warranty, weighs 100lbs and has a weight capacity that's off the charts(1,300-1,500lbs is what the salesperson guessed). The Nautilus is costs $200 plus tax here in town, has a lifetime warranty, weighs 50lbs, and has a weight capacity of 800lbs. Both of them go from flat to incline to military. I will be the main person using it besides my wife, but I like to buy quality stuff that will last years. What do you think, guys???

By far, in my opinion, the promaxima is better. (1st one) It has a more solid base to the legs. I own a gym and that is the one I would choose.

Thanks for the input, G!

You might want to consider a Cybex bench. They make some nice solid benches. The gym I used to go to had them and I liked them a lot. I also think maxicam (sp) makes some good benches.
