I’m torn between the Rogue RML-390 flat foot monster lite power rack and the HR-2 half rack. Someone that knows a lot more than me, give me a reason to go with either over the other besides whichever one comes in stock first. My only concerns with the half rack are can the monster lite accessories fit it like landmines...etc.

The full rack is safer, that's why I got a full over a half because of that

I think you can mount the half rack to wall or concrete if safety is a concern.

We are converting one of those portable 12x24 garages into a home gym, so no concrete floor unfortunately. I’m not concerned about the half rack, just wondering what the concerns of anyone else would be

As far as not dropping a bench press on my throat because I have safeties in the rack. I know you can get the arm safeties but I just wanted extra.

It's safer because if you fall backwards when squaring or pressing or front squating then it hits the uprights then safeties. On a half rack or squat stand with front safeties, if you pass out or fall back, it misses the safeties all together.
