Yes, but which weighs more....400 Lbs. of steel free weights, or 400 Lbs of stack weights?

Free weights or stack weights weigh the same. It depends on the universal machine you're working on. 400lbs is 400lbs.

With free weights you get the advantage of having to balance the weights. It's more dangerous but some guys like me feel you get something out of it. On a universal the advantage is you use the muscles intended, a bench press hits the pecs and no cheating.

Some universal gyms have a gradient on lifting. However you do max out at the weight intended difference again being you use the muscles intended.

I feel it's good to use both free and stack. That way you get the best of both worlds.
