At $169.99 (free shipping), this is the lowest price I've seen for this powercage model.
This doesn't actually have a 1000 lb barbell capacity as Youtube reviews say it isn't strong enough to survive a drop from an 800lb barbell. Reviews also say it is 16 gauge steel instead of 11 gauge steel for most of the structure.
However, the item is sturdy enough to be used for lighter barbell weights and is perfectly fine as a calisthenics cage (eg. pullups, dips, etc). This will be strong enough for the vast majority of people who aren't professional athletes, body builders, etc.

If you have a spotter, it's less of an issue (re: guy who got kilt by his spotter on squats) and you can bench without collars and dump the plates on bench. But I still prefer the safety bars, especially because I usually work out on my own.

Considering it's less than half the price of most other powercages, you can probably give it a shot as you're not losing much even if it rusts.
What is a safety catch? I am looking into buying a power rack soon
I may have used the wrong term. They're either some bars or some rope that catch the bar in case you fail. It prevents you from catching the bar with your neck on bench press and falling backwards/forwards with the bar on squats.
