Olympic rings are 200mm in from the sleeve

Power rings are 250mm in from sleeve

My Pendlay and Zhang Kong bars are OL

My ABC bars are power bars

The cheaper bars arent nearly as precise, so I stick em in power racks
 
Regarding deadlifting and cleaning bars for the home gym, whats the recomendation for someone looking for high knurling and tensile quality without getting to crazy with price?

I currently own an ABC powerbar, for those more experienced then me would there be any more advantage in comfort with an Oly bar?
 
IMO, you dont need multiple bars or even expensive bars if your not an elite lifter. Markos and gyms need multiple bars anyway so I understand they can have a variety, but for home, just make sure the bar can hold the weight you intend to use it for. At home I have two Pendlay Nexgen OL bars. We use them on all lifts, and they are great. Every now and then I bring out the Iron Edge cheapie (bent after 4 weeks use), to remind me how nice the Pendlays are.
