I am using the base
I am using the base bar pro at my home gym and for group workouts outdoors. It is very portable and stable. I like doing L-sit pull ups, inverted rows, and dips with it. The finish provides a good grip even when your hands get sweaty or when you are wearing gloves. If you are going to use it 3 or more days a week then I can definitely recommend it at the $200 price tag.
