I've been considering the Rogue SML-1, which I think is not considered a full rack.

What's wrong with with a half rack with spotter arms for squats? Is it a matter of not being able to handle very heavy weights?

Thanks for the input, btw - super helpful!

My half rack spotting arms are really only meant for benching, quite short. The advantage of a full cage is safety in multiple directions.

This guy has a good write up of the plus/minus of the different types. https://www.setforset.com/blogs/news/squat-stand-vs-half-rac...
