I would have to say the power cage on that one . Although i am a fan of using the smiths machine you wont be restricted to just straight up and down motions .

i,ve never used a powercage, i,ve got a bodypower smith machine which is pretty good. but like fiba says you only get straight up and down movements.

so cant really do that many exercises on it.

I'd go for the cage personally, I don't like being locked into a rigid plane of motion by the smith machine.
