At the end of the video he is doing a bench press but I did not see a bench in the included parts. Wow, I loved the assembly video, very well done! Anyone with any experience on this model?

It looks like the smith bar has hooks that go into the bar vs pins. Others have mentioned this is less desirable. Doesn't have the weight plate storage but looks like it takes up less space because of it. Pullys are 1:1 vs 2:1 which could be an advantage or disadvantage depending on your preferences.
It's also interesting that this one comes with a bench seat attachment for the safety catch arm, but not a leg hold down for lat pull downs, whereas the M4 has the leg hold down attachment, but no bench seat attachment. I feel like this seat is almost more desirable as you can get a leg hold down attachment that attaches directly to the rack for $50 or less, but a bench seat attachment is generally more expensive. I haven't seen a bench add on for the safety catch arm sold separately but maybe I didn't look hard enough.
I've seen this comment a few times but, with this machine and the m4, the catch arms and the bar holder attachments that come with it allow for a traditional flat bench or squat workout in front of the machine, just add a barbell and/or bench. I think having the added option of a smith is still a nice to have if you are working out solo without a spotter and dont want to risk it, but to each their own. If anything it's just another option.
