I throw in some pull-downs and seated cable rows here and there. Otherwise it’s all freeweights and bodyweight.

LMAO! The Venus 2000 is where it’s at.
Assisted dip/chin machine. Anything that helps ease out of shape people into bodyweight exercises like dips and chins is great in my book.
The only one I really like is the chest supported row machine.
Other than that, I’ll use cables if they are free, but only for bullshit bi/tri work at the end of my workout.
Subaru WRX sti is a great machine!
In my opinion, machines are superior for single-joing (rotary) movements. A semicircular movement is anywhere from 1/3 - 2/3 horizontal, and gravity doesn’t resist horizontal motion. A machine applies resistance throughout the movement arc whereas, with free weights, the amount of work performed relative to the change in joint angle drops off dramatically.
