If I hadn't just dumped all my cash on a rack, I would pledge the $650 for sure.

Didnt take shipping into consideration.
It's a sexy machine. Retail will be around $1500.
I work out at home, and my tiny wife won't be saving me if I drop a bar on my chest. So ya, I would pay 650 for that.

I would pay $1,000 for it comfortably.

For that price your better buy a regular flat bench and a power rack which eliminate the need of this and gives your more for your bucks.

I have a rack coming. I'll post pics when it's all put up In a week or so.
My problem is that my chest will sit higher than my safety bars, and I come to my chest on bench.

Safeties are either too high or too low?

Where should they be sitting? Exactly at chest level?
Sadly the pins will be just shy of being the proper level, so I must resort to having them lower than my chest so I can go as far down as I like.

Spendy, but very clever. I hope they hit their funding goals.
