Personally, i've noticed that when I do bench presses with dumb bells, they are much more effective at working my chest than those with the bar. When I raise the weights up, I can really feel it in my chest with dumb bells, not so much with bar.
Yeah, form is important. Oh, I forgot to mention. You mentioned moving from machines to free weights. Whatever you did on the machine, keep in mind you will do A LOT less with free weights for the first few times. This is because your muscles aren't used to having to stabilize the weight.
