I don't own one but looking at one it seems like a waste of money.
My friend has one and he was talking about being stronger than me because he was benching 200 lbs 10 times. I finally got him to push some real weights on my friends bench. He couldn't do 180 once. Case closed.

This is kinda a difficult thing because the resistance is so different, I've used the bowflex because my mom has one. You definitely have to adapt to both kinds (bowflex & free weights). Like for you I bet it would be hard to do 200 lbs. 10 times on the bowflex because you've never used it before. It feels VERY awkward.

I agree you're not going to reap the bennies like a good free weight workout does, but in his case it definitely has served its purpose well. I'm very proud of him for starting and sticking with his program. He's hooked, and has to be very sick to miss a workout.
