New gym bench help

I'm looking to purchase a gym bench and I was looking at these two but I'm unsure which would be the better purchase? Not sure if the dearer one necessarily means better cheers

Considering they're from the same vendor, it's interesting that they're very similar products. There isn't a massive amount of difference.

I do like that they they are not selectorised, the way you adjust the bench is straightforward and there isn't much to break or go wrong if the bench is assembled well and everything is tigthened properly.

The HB3130 is a little heavier and it looks like the construction might be a bit more robust, but it's hard to tell and these are both imported Chinese products - any specs and guidelines as to recommended weight capacity should be taken with a pinch of salt.

At 25kg and 28kg respectively, neither of these is actually 'heavy duty', but they will be absolutely fine for home use.
