Default New 'Workmate' recomendations please

My old B&D Workmate had a terminal experience with a Deere by the name of
John and needs replacing.

The modern replacement appears to be a WM536 but I wondered if anyone had
any recommendations for any other type or has experienced and would not
recommend a 536. My price cap is £75 as it does not get a lot of use.


I prefer this style:

Yes, there are loads of suppliers. I just chose the link to Ryobi as I
thought it more likely to remain the same for a while than many others.

Similar to my old B&D and the current B&D WM536 except that its bamboo
rather than covered MDF. Thanks.
