You'll see some folks complain that cheaper plates are thicker - and this is true. The BalanceForm 25s are 1.93" thick, and the Rogue Echo 25s are 1.5" thick. In fact, the Rogue Echo 35's are the same thickness as the BalanceForm 25s. Until you are loading the bar to its ends, this doesn't matter.
Pick it up, put it down. Repeat until tired and sore. Do this multiple times per week for a few years. That's what important. As much as I like supporting Rogue, no one cares what your plates look like when you're jacked.

Awesome! Thanks
I've seen the high end Rogue and similar bars recommended but wasn't sure if there were other options, especially if i bit cheaper...

And while I can't vouch for their bars specifically, I do have several Titan products, and they're pretty solid for the money.

I'm sure the Titan bars are not US made like the Elite or Rogue bars, if that's a concern. That said, $150 for a good power bar ($215 for the Elite Series) seems like a reasonable deal. Regardless, you want a "power" bar and not a deadlift or multi-bar if you want to squat, as you want the center knurling for squatting. You also don't want a bar with a lot of "whip" unless you're Olympic lifting (Clean & Jerk or Snatch)
If I was to buy another bar it would undoubtedly be the Rogue Ohio Power Bar at $275.00-$295.00. A little pricey, but beautiful finish and knurling, no whip, center knurl, available in cerakote if you like for a bit more money.
