What do you guys think of this Gym/Smith Machine?
Looking for something myself and the wife can both use. I want some of the freedom and advantages of free weights, yet still have it be easy enough for the wife to use, who is not used to real gym/free weight equipment..
I saw this Gold's Pro unit at Sports Authority for $799.. its looks and feels pretty solid.

they also had a very similar Iron Grip unit, whit is all white, and diamond plated.. which had the lat pulldown down bar instead.. I couldn't find any pics online of this unit.
For $799 you guys think its a good solution for my situation?
I'm not doing any serious working out or training for any competetions, just want some good mid level equipment that will last, and that isn't junk.
EDIT: I know you guys generally frown upon Smith machines for serious bodybuilding, which i won't be doing.. I'm 35, just had a new baby, and would just like a decent home gym for the wife and myself to use to get back into decent shape.
thanks!!!
