I like the Smith machine because I rarely have a spotter but I do lots of free weight exercises with dumbells too so I think I have a nice mix. I have seen different bars on different smith machines so that might explain the bar weight difference. I realize Olympic bars should have a standard weight but I saw a cheapie smith machine at a local sporting goods store and the bar didn't seem nearly as heavy as the ones at my gym. Can't explain it but it seemed lighter to me. BTW, I like heavy shrugs on the Smith as well.
