Does anybody know the difference between the angled and the vertical smith machines? Is one better than the other? I have heard they are not making Smith's veritcal anymore and all angled now. My concern is, does it effect my exercises on the angles smith machine? They say its a better design. Any input would be great..thanks in advance.

They both have pros and cons.
The angle gives help put you in a natural position while doing squats.

Thanks for the input. oscarg.
If you had to choose which one would you choose? I see that you mentioned that they both have pros and cons.
