    Barbell: ABC or TPB?

    Last piece of equipment for my home gym and I'm finding it hard to pick out a clear winner from the 2 barbells. The ABC power bar or the Buddy Capps TPB? ABC is considerable cheaper (Roughly $150) but the TPB has a better reputation? Which one would you pick if cost isn't a factor?
