I'd have to agree, donno what the cable stack would be for that couldn't be done elsewhere.

But, at some shop around here we saw a pretty awesome "smith-like" machine that had cables and pulleys instead of the normal track, and everything was fairly freeweight-ish but safer feeling. If you let go of the bar, it stopped. period. THAT would be the thing I'd get.
