    Fantastic video.
    The coloured Echo ones are actually the cheapest bumper plates on the Rogue Australia website (V1 I imagine. No fleck plates are available, except some crumb ones that are more expensive. I prefer the standard colours).
    HG are next most expensive, and the least expensive are the iron plates.
    They do look the cleanest. Colour-coding is pretty cool. I like that the lettering stands out.
    I like all-black, but the other options look too much like a pile of tires or something (vibes-wise. The marks and stuff).
    The more important thing is that the other options can have a really strong rubber-smell that can sometimes just not go away (particularly for people with sensitive smell at least). The hard virgin rubber ones seem to have hardly any smell and they air out way quicker (I also lift in a room, so it's more relevant for me).
    I see you left a comment where you said you haven't have any issues with smell, so that's good. I wonder why some are nauseatingly bad for months, and others are completely fine. Maybe the sun or something.

    Question about what you said about drop pads. I got the Luxiaojun E1 rubber bumpers. My floor is Titan rubber tiles 2ftx2ft, which I think are one inch thick. They are used in Titan's platforms. Could a concrete garage floor still be damaged? Would drop pads be better than getting another pair of tiles that I could throw down (which would be cheaper, $60 vs $150)?
