Whoa, that's awesome!
I'm always impressed be people who exercise.

I may have sent you the wrong link, then....
Honestly, I see machines as a good way to let stabilizers rest, but free weights are the way to go.
Here are the chest exercises I'm doing right now (or will be doing again tomorrow morning):
Incline Dumbbell Press
Barbell Bench Press
Flat Bench Dumbbell Flyes
Pushups
I also like to lay on the flat bench and toss the 35 lb. medicine ball in the air until my arms get tired at the end of my chest workout. It makes sure that I've gotten all the exercising I can from my pecs and it's fantastic for stabilizers. Also it gives my trainer the giggles.
