You won my heart by promoting a $150 curl bar as the expensive pick for a curl bar. I've got a crow bar and it's great for my once a week needs. I've got a pretty expensive home gym, but functionality with quality that does the job beats throwing stupid money at overkill products that limit your ability to get what you need for an overall workout.

Beyond that they typically aren't that much cheaper.

I finally gave up on the spin collar dumbbells, and mine are the old style with the spinning grips. I'm ordering the Rogue Urethane fixed dumbbells one or two pair a month until I get to the top weight that I can handle. I might keep the old school stuff just for single arm rows. That's really all they are good for, and I am sick of the spin collars coming loose.
