BodyCraft F620 vs Body-Solid GLM83

I am looking at these 2 Lat Machines both priced at $299 with free shipping. Just looking for recommendations from anyone that could help. I hate buying equip without trying them first but I can't find these anywhere in stores. I am mainly concerned about a smooth pull, which I know is sometimes difficult with square tube and bushing system. Thanks

Question

Can anyone give any further opinions about either Lat Machine. It's tough to buy something without seeing and trying it first.

If you want to do seated rows, I'd get the second one. I can't imagine what it'd be like doing them from the seat on the first one...

I am leaning towards the body-solid unit, which was my original choice. I've been hearing only good things about both units, so I guess I can't go wrong either way. Besides the preacher pad, its whether I want to sit on the floor or not for low rows.

having had my hands on a lot of BS and BC stuff, they are pretty close buildwise, with BS being finished a bit better
For me, I'd go for the BS unit because the design looks like you can load more on the lat pulldown
