It can definitely be a slippery slope. I spent almost exactly $1000 for the bar, 260lbs of bumpers, and the squat stand. Most sites have a small discount for bundling, but don’t let your inner superhero argue that you need an extra pair of 45s!
Last fall, I made a spreadsheet and charted out prices. There's definitely a range between brands.
