Avoid these, and get either Powerblocks or simple std db bars and plates.

The reason why I say this:

1. Warranty. Selecttech: 90 labor, 1 yr tumbler parts, 5 yr plates. Powerblock: 10yr overall.
2. Weight. Selecttech: 52.2lbs, Powerblock: upto 130lbs.
3. Size. Selecttech: same length no matter how little the weight. Powerblocks are narrower than most at 35lbs.

However, w/ cost factored in, std bars and a group of plates will beat out either ST or PB.
