Upgrade home gym

Long time lurker.

I need to upgrade my smith machine as I will be getting to the max weight for the rack in a couple of months. I also have ~150kg of standard weights that I will get rid of and replace with olympic weights.

I've been looking for a cage for a while and will probably purchse from Gym & fitness:
- this one seems the best deal, all I will need is to spend ~$300 on a bench: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/POWER-RA...4?pt=AU_Strength_Training&hash=item338a5ae2cc
- this package is highly rated by everyone on the forum, but comes with $100kg less weight: http://www.gymandfitness.com.au/force-usa-power-rack-package.html#.UvhsXbReK1k

Any suggestions? When I try to look up Magnum fitness I struggle to find reviews, but I have confirmed that the max weights for both racks are the same. I'm also open to different options too.

Thanks in advance
 
Pretty sure Force USA is just rebranded equipment usually with a higher price tag, and Magnum is a rebrand of thr same stuff at a more reasonable price. See if theres an identical Force USA itrm to the Magnum Fitness one youre looking at and base off those reviews. G&F also have some detailed videos on most Force USA items
