Phil: It depends on the uses to which you plan to put it. If you are going to be doing only minor or middling shopwork, a bench press would be fine. If you are going to be doing a lot of pinblock drilling, I have found that the floor presses with deep throats :) are better, especially for stability since I have a milling platform mounted on mine. I guess one rule of thumb is to get the best and biggest you can afford, like a piano. Paul Revenko-Jones
