Here are a couple in the same price range from Vulcan and (cheaper) Titan.

The one consideration is plate storage. Peg storage (either facing backwards on the rear verticals, or sideways on all verticals) is ok, but can interfere with some lifts. Rolling storage is another option (in the rack when not using it).
That Vulcan rack is leading my short list of candidates.

I've already ordered plates, collars, and a bar from them. I'll write more on that later. 100% happy with the sales, service, and shipping.
