shheeet what do you have to worry about then, lol
definately the incling/decline...much more range of motions, not just for chest, but back, shoulders and ab routines...the other is just sitting upright, and thats it.
and its cheaper!!!

This might be the best of both worlds in a quick easy to use machine that also functions like a free weight bench that gives resistance al around.

Why? Because machines balance the weight for you, thus reducing the amount of work you have to do and not exercising the stabalizing muscles that truly create real world strength. For instance, a lot of people can bench a lot more on a Smith Machine than a free weight flat bench.
