Hi All,

Have been reading on the forum for a while now and finally decided to register as I need your help. I have been going to the Gym for about a year now and love it but I don't. I love the lifting aspect of the gym but just don't feel comfortable in there so have decided to bite the bullet and buy myself something for home instead and these are the 2 that I am considering. I am stuck between the 2 and was wondering is it really worth the extra coin to get the powertec package compared to the package I put together from gym direct. I 100% want the high/low pulley option that is a must and I suppose that is the deal breaker which one actually works better than the other. If you can let me know your experience with both and or why you reckon one is better than the other it will help me greatly in deciding which one to purchase as I am unable to visit both store as they are in NSW and I am from Victoria.

Not to be make your life any harder, but there are the cyberfit power racks too.

However, if it's between the two, I vote the MM and use the extra coin on buying other accessories that aren't included in the package. Both have similar weight limits, but MM is much cheaper with better pull ups. With the powertec, you're just paying for the name
