No argument on that, but the expense of a good power rack and barbell set, and the space required is far higher than a small bench and a set of adjustable dumbbells. My version costs less than $200 and takes up about 3 sq ft and can be tucked behind or under other furniture when not in use. It's an 80/20 thing.
