Anyone tried the marcy sm-4000 smith system?

Im looking to buy a home gym. Im only looking to spend around $500. The best looking home gym I can find is the marcy 4000. Heres a link to it:

Anyone tried this before? Any feedback would be awesome.

I've tried a few of their systems at Dick's Sporting Goods. One of the higher priced smiths had a very smooth bearing system, but the other lower priced ones had too much friction, and just annoyed the hell out of me. Also, their smiths are all angled, and that can be irritating in certain lifts as well. Perhaps I am just spoiled by the smooth Trotter smiths at my gym.
