Default need help choosing front bumper

OK heres my dilema. I am looking for a new front bumper. I am currently designing my rear and it will match to the front in some fashion.
I am looking at 3 bumpers - Poison Spyder Brawler lite with brawler bar, pure jeep bare bonez, and exp one basic dx with light wings. Each one has its own characteristics but I like each. I love the weight of the 2 modified winch bracket designs but i also like look of the PSC bumper.. If you have any of them can you share pics?

WOL you have it on rubicat now right. It's a nice minimal piece. But I see this causing more confusion. Ugh.

So if psc is a popular choice tube gusset or machined?

And right now no rear bumper but have an AEV carrier mounted.

I am only repeating second hand information. I have the PSC Brawler Lite with the plate style gussets. I was going to buy it with the tube style and was recommended against doing that buy the vendor. I was told the plate style looked much better and many people who buy the tube style say the tube gussets are to narrow in diameter are not happy after the purchase.

Having said that, I have no idea what it looks like in person and I am not trying to affend anyone who bought it that way. Just repeating what I was told.

A couple of pics of the PSC Brawler Lite with skid. These are the best I could find. Love the bumper and craftsmanship is top notch. The bumper is powdercoated but the skid is just painted black to match, that way if the skid gets scratched up it can be sanded up and repainted easier and cheaper than having it re-powdercoated. Good luck on your choice
