Anyone have thoughts/experience with Ivanko SDH-U adjustable dumbbell? I'm currently using some old 1" spinlock adjustable dumbbells. I wrapped some hockey tap around the grip to thicken it and eliminate the awful aggressive knurling.

Troy HO Series plates vs. Troy PO Series plates? My general understanding is that these two series of plates are more or less identical, specs-wise — except for their respective colors (i.e., HO Series is hammertone gray, and PO Series is black).
