Good point but i was just seeing if one of them work the chest better than the other.

I say this all the time, but think nature. The Pec Deck puts your arms in an unnatural position, and stabilizers are not utilized. They are for people who have been injured, not for gaining mass. If you want to really hit your chest with DB Flyes, try keeping your legs straight and extended in front of you. It takes out all of your balance, and you will be surprised by the amount of stabilizers you use in your Chest and Serratus muscles, along with a little bicep action (try to leave out as much of the bicep as you can).

neither

I like machines because it gives you constant tension on the muscle, while db flyes transfer force through the bones at the top of the motion. But I voted for db flyes because they do use stabilizers. A cable cross would be a good compromise.
