Don't know why you'd prefer the MMPR over the force USA... just looking at the massive hole spacing on the MMPR rules it out for me.
That's really good, I don't love 15 kg plates but 200kg is pretty great. I paid around that amount for a similar package, except with olympic dumbell handles and a Force USA bench, but with the shittier rack (home version). Probably would've considered this package if it was at that price point when I bought mine!Thanks guys. I saw this link from another thread and it looks like excellent value POWER RACK W/ LAT PULL DOWN STAND CAGE SQUAT + 200KG WEIGHT PLATES + BARBELL GYM | eBay
That is assuming it is the current version, and if they can do a more practical plate config. I'll send them an email to check the width and to see if they can do the plates in a better config. Freight seems to be cheap too.
I've also sent emails to GymDirect and Cybermarket for quotes so I'll see what they come back with.

I got a quote from cyberfit and IMO the discount wasn't so great. It was 10% off the website prices.
Fluffy, I have no idea how you got such a good deal mate. I see you spent about $1250 and all I added to what you got was a plate storage rack and some extra rubber mats and the quote is just under $2000
For that money I can order the MM commercial package no. 7 from GD.
Using the figures from the quote I added them up to compare with the $1045 cyberfit package deal and it worked out to be $1075 - so $30 dearer. I think this is because the package deals seem to have the weights for $2.50/kg but my quote had the weights at $2.70/kg.
I think this confirms I'm better off getting the weight plates locally from gymgarage for $2.50/kg because I will also be saving on the freight.
Just some experience before you buy anything...
The ForceUSA Rack is good, lots of band attachments and short spacing between pins. I've been recently told there are 1210mm width rack's available. I have a 1290 and its shithouse with a normal bar so I got the different bar made up by Aus BB. So if you can get your hands on the 1210 do so.
I buy alot of equipment from Gym Direct and it is quality for the price. But out of the MMPR and my rack it's still a no brainer.
Ring him up and haggle with him over the phone, thats what I did. Also don't get the more expensive 1500lb bar the cheapy is just as good.
Dunno if your getting the pulley setup cause I did give that a miss. Alao I'd wait till after xmas I bet heaps of people are buying packages as xmas pressies, that old supply and demand thing driving prices up.
Are you aware how long an $80 bar will last?
Did you hear about the 1210 wide version from Graeme as well? I've searched Google pretty hard and can't find any mention of it. The Force USA website still lists the F-PC as 1290 wide. Can anyone confirm there is such a thing as a 1210 wide version
Are you saying you think Force USA rack is better than the MMPR or vice-versa?
Cheers.

Hi all.
Just a follow-up to this. The 1210mm ForceUSA F-PC rack does exist - we have one in our showroom.
Graeme.
