in my opinion just buy a flat bench - no inclines, declines, flux capacitors etc. the reason? for most cases they're pointless. a good solid flat bench would run you a couple hundred bucks at full blown retail and you could do everything off of it. ie: chest - dumbbell presses and flys. shoulders: sit on the edge and do your presses without a back support - this will improve your core strength as well. other shoulder exercises would be laterals and front raises. decline is the most useless exercise out there and is generally done by people who cant bench a high enough number in their own mind and do decline to feel stronger. inclines have merit but from what your describing you would be fine without doing the movement. trust me my chest/bench day i concentrate on barbell only on the flat bench. no inclines or declines. i will incorporate dumbbell presses into the routine as well but again only need a flat bench for that. you will get stronger and develop a thicker chest by sticking to the basics than some gimicky do it all bench. of course that's just my opinion tho.
