Is an adjustable bench or a flat bench better for a home gym?

Reviewer consensus

High-trust r/homegym threads repeatedly point out that a dedicated flat bench is lighter, more stable, sits at a consistent ~16-inch height, and costs less, making it ideal if you mostly bench press. An adjustable FID bench adds incline, decline, and seated work but introduces a back-pad gap and some flex. Many lifters end up owning both.
