Not sure if its better for say strength, but I do get a better feel and pump using it for bench press.

I use it for safety reasons from not having a spotter and I love it. I definitely can not go as heavy but I feel isolate the chest more but I feel more stress on the shoulder.

I love doing inclines on a smith. Forces you to use proper form.

Agreed. Takes the stabilizers out for the most part and allows you to contract/focus more on the pecs...add fat gripz to the bar and watch what happens next
