I guess I'm not entirely sure what the more expensive one does for you that the cheaper one doesn't?
I have a 7ft bar which is basically the exact same as that cheaper option there and I have no problems with it at all. I'm sure that one higher end bar is somehow better...but I have no idea how. I just put weights on mine and lift heavy stuff. I can't think of a reason that I would need a more expensive bar in all honesty.
I'd be interested in hearing other opinions though in case I just have no idea! For some context I lift four times a week.

Here's an
article I found very useful when barbell shopping. Some of the pricing and available options are a little outdated now, but it also details the differences in construction and things to look for when tailoring a barbell to your personal needs.
