Does anyone have the Lifetime Play center seen here (http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?prodid=11610679&whse=BC&topnav=&cm_sp=RichRelevance-_-categorypageHorizontalTop-_-PopularProductsInCategory&cm_vc=categorypageHorizontalTop|PopularProductsInC ategory)?
We are contemplating getting this one when we move as it seems like it would withstand hard winter weather better than the wooden sets (less maintenance.) We had a Rainbow playset at our last house that we loved. But we don't want to spend $5,000 again and as much as we loved the Rainbow set - we had to restain it after a few years. I'd like something that I don't have to worry about.
If you have a Lifetime set - what are the cons in your opinion? Would you purchase it again? Does the metal get too hot in the summer and too cold in the colder months?
We currently have the Costco swingset from a few years ago that they sold in the warehouse. The kids really only use the swings on this set - they say there are too many spiders on the platform to play up there. I am also looking at getting this one.

They are 5 and 7 and I am wondering if they are getting too old for those extra options and would get the most use out of the swings only.
