Home gym - Yay or Nay?

[Simple Simon]

I used to train at home when I was teenager, and was always frustrated that I couldn't exercise calves. A movement that never occurred to me is one legged calf raises.

In fact, I think it's even more effective than standing/seated calf machine raises or calf presses on the leg press.
(Never used donkey calf machine or the new standing bent over calf machine so can't comment on these.)
