i went with bayou 25lb pair from wayfair via buy.com
$148.01 with 15% cashback points (around $22) with coupon code MAY.
Total should be around $126 shipped for pair.

** This is a Bayou Fitness Dumbbell**
Just got confirmation that we are selling a Bayou Fitness Dumbbell.
We are working to get the photos replaced. (UPDATE: Photo is now correct)
The main difference is that the Bayou has metal selectors rather than the plastic on the Xmark.
Perfect, less plastic is always a good thing.
Are these strong enough for someone who wants to use them to do pushups with a T lift after the pushup?
Bowflex has a similar product with soft rubber grips and 2.5 lb increments for around $300 (pair) on sale. Thats what I paid on amazon about 4 months ago.
Bowflex SelectTech 552

so does this imply that Xmark will be sold in the future???
