1) 50lbs on each arm is more than sufficient for me. I'm 5'7" and 160lbs. My bicep, tricep, shoulder exercises are roughly 20-40lbs with 10-15 reps. My goal is to stay fit and develop/maintain muscle. I'm not a power lifter. 100lb total for squats is sufficient as well.
2) On switching between weights with the EXP, I found the adder weights to +/- 5 lbs to be cumbersome. Yes, it only takes 30 seconds, but it was inconvenient especially when I'm doing super-sets or drop sets. The non-expandable 50lb do not require the adder weight and increments by 5lbs . It was perfect in being able to switch between 25, 30, and 35 lbs within 2 seconds with the pin. I loved working out so much more because of this difference. All the ELITEs and EXP versions of powerblocks require adder weights to go to +/- 5lbs.
I did some research on adjustable dumbbells before deciding that powerblocks were the one for me. For me, it came down to durability and price, which Powerblock came out on top. The square shape didn't bother me at all and now I love the shape since it doesn't roll away. Not requiring a stand was a bonus. Here's a good YouTube video comparing the various adjustable dumbbells and ranking them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVmEgHM

Do they shake and wobble?
I would say it is pretty minimal and likely no different to any other adjustable dumbbell.
The pro are also available now at woot so you can see the difference:

(me personally, I went with the USA Elite Exp stages 1-3 but that deal is not available right now on woot)

For me no, but it depends
For powerblocks, doing home workouts where I have to switch weight settings between sets within 15 seconds, the plastic adjustment can be annoying. I prefer the quick adjustment on the Bowflex
However, the powerblocks are nice and compact, so they let you have good non isolated movements that the Bowflex doesn't let you because of their length.
I'm getting a 2nd set just to let me have 2 weights to alternate between during a workout

I can't believe that guy tried out every single adjustable set! Thanks for sharing that, I'm in for a Sport 50 set too.
LOL well done

I think most people like the size. I have the Bowflex and certain movements are awkward but manageable. Personally, I love the dial selector over the PowerBlock pin. I still think about buying the PowerBlock for the expansions, though. I know this one isn't it but that's the main reason I'd buy PowerBlock.
