Hopefully I'm a year away from having a home gym. Been a dream for a while.

I ordered one of these with the spotter arms for the Florida home and I got an email from Rogue stating the arms should not be used with the wall mount racks and it poses a serious safety concern?
Exact statement is
"
While processing your order, we noticed you purchased a set of Safety Spotter Arms with the Fold Back Rack.
This item is not recommended for use with the Fold Back Wall Mount due to serious safety concerns.
Would you like for us to remove this item from your order and issue a refund, or proceed with your order as is?
"
Do you feel this is just them being overtly cautious or is it a legit concern? My guess is something might have happened to a user of these....
They have scrubbed the spotter arms from all of their pictures
Old pictures can be seen here.

New ones have them missing.

so apparently people have been ripping the rack off their walls by dropping huge loads on the arms... not an issue for me since it will be going onto reinforced concrete.
Finally started putting my home gym together. I will be building a 3 piece deadlift platform this week (with the extra horse stall mat visible), portable 72" H x48" W "glassless mirror should arrive this week (didn't want to destroy my flag mural I worked hard on), life fitness arm curl bench (refurbed) & nautilus seated calf raise (with wheels) and 2 ton mini split will be installed this coming week (SWFL summer heat & humidity is out of control).
I'm also looking at either a refurbed commercial cable crossover to add or a Freemotion style functional trainer (with the movable arms). I'm also waiting for the Rogue rack mounted lat-pulldown/low row to come back into stock, I'll be picking that up with the GHD 2.0 & a few specialty bars (trap bar, multi grip bars). My Ironmaster dumbbells go to 120lbs but I'll be looking to pick up another set (or two) to make things more convenient.

That whole thing, flag included, is awesome.
Sic semper tyrannis.
That's a nice gym you've put together. That flag looks fantastic.
PatrioticDisorder, that's an awesome gym. I'm one of those people who works out better outside my home - I don't have the discipline/focus to work out hard at home. Too many distractions.
At the other extreme...the picture below pretty much sums up our home gym. There's actually quite a lot we can do with just those few things.
