One of them would be way too short in height for me, it would do my
back in in no time. My bench is 955mm off the floor, sized by me
holding a plane at a good height and getting the eldest to measure
from floor to plane sole. I can plane hard all day and not feel my
back at all (I did pull my left biceps insertion a couple of months
back though).

However a bit of ingenuity will bring the height to the desired comfortable
working level.
