opinions on POWERTEC equipment please >>>

[theboss]

I am thinking of getting some POWERTEC stuff to replace my old equipement.
Here is what I am thinking:

Power Rack (basic without lat attachment so i can get the bench in deeper)
Lat Machine - model P-LM
Utility Bench - model P-UB

The main thing I am concerned about is their plate loaded pull down machine. It uses rubber bushings & runs on 2 rails....I currently have an old Northern Lights lat machine that runs tube on tube and does not have a smooth feel anymore. So I will be selling that and maybe my Northern Olympic bench w/ preacher & leg ext/curl. (My Northern stuff is the OLD black hammertone..not the crappy white shit they pedal now). i would like a selectorized lat machine but the only reasonably priced unit i can find is YUKON...and i think there stuff is kinda flimsy.

May also buy some Body Solid stuff...like a preacher bench....I will be keeping my Nautillas Linear Smith and bench (this smith has a pulldown & pecdec that i dont have hooked up as it has no leg holddowns and it stops you from pushing the bench in deep enough)......

any opinions??
