Body Solid make an affordable Lat Machine that is very smooth and of high quality. I've been surfing around the net looking for one and came across this one. It seems to be the most affordable, I seen it on one weight fitness site for only $299. That's not a bad price, especially when the machine has a rowing section also on it. The only downside is the square pole, square poles are not the smooth, but I have felt some that are really good. I definitely have to say though, this is a good lat machine for the money.
