They had this weight set twice earlier this year, once in April and another in June. Previously, the promotion was $499.99, but using the Costco Citi to buy it would get you a $150 Costco gift card. I was able to combine it with a $50 off $500 (and had to buy a filler to push the total to at least $500).
The chrome clips flake, and I mean a lot. I thought I could just clean off enough of it and it would stop, but after two to three weeks of it flaking continuously, I ended up using some Flex seal spray to double coat them (coat it, let it dry, coat it once more). It's holding up for the most part. The flakes digging into your hands were hard to pull out.
Also there's a strong rubber smell on all of the plates. I recommend to use a paper towel and wipe them down and then leave it somewhere to air out, preferably in the garage if you have one. I tried letting it air out in my basement and the smell lingered for at least two weeks. I had to bring my air purifier down and let it run for a week before all of the strong smells were gone.
For ~$300 + filler + tax, it was delivered and likely a much nicer set than the Dunham's one mentioned. You might be able to hold out and see if they'll have that promo run again.

I used a $50 coupon on the weights, too. My "filler" was the rack

This really isn't a great deal for this type of rack.
Titan Fitness and Archon both have comparable racks for this price or cheaper. Titan also has a lot of attachments available for their racks. If you aren't able to go for Rogue I would go with Titan or Archon before this. Titan T3 or X3 would both be great.
Or even a GRIND half rack. (I prefer half racks for home use anyway!).
You don't need to spend a ton of money on a rack for home use. As long as it is sturdy and can hold the weight it will be fine. Better spending money on a good bar, a solid bench (wide), and some bumpers. FWIW...the bars that come with these sets are trash.
*I am a HS teacher and have a gym with 6 ROGUE 390 racks so we can lift off both sides for 12 stations.... and, while ROGUE is awesome stuff it is a bit overkill for home use. We have a cheap half rack in our basement at home but have a nice older model York split collar bar and some nice bumper plates. I did build a nice platform for my rack but you don't need to spend a ton of money on a rack that isn't going to get commercial use. Most home racks get less than 4 hours of use a week (and that includes rest times!).
Also wondering if you're comparing the bar to what comes with the Dick's sets (not very good) since this one looks to be on par with the economy bar from Titan.
Don't really want horse stall mats...

I'm not a fan of the puzzle mats, they always pull apart on me.
That said, I've seen people that build or buy platforms so that may be more your style.
