Next project for Home gym-a Hammer Incline press. Good Choice?

I just finished building a Hammer Strength front military press machine to use in my home gym. I did a great job on it (yeah I'm bragging) and wouldn't hesitate putting it head to head with the "real" thing (I will post pics as soon as I can borrow a camera). Now I'm thinking about what my next project can be-I'm leaning towards a Hammer Incline press. When I train chest I like to do the "bread and butter" exercises first-incline BB press and flat DB flyes. Since my chest is practically fried, wouldn't a machine be the way to go because all I have to concentrate on is pushing. Plus, I can shake things up once and a while and use the machine first. I spent around $325 building the military press, so I assume an incline press would be in the same price range. Anyone like using Hammer equipment to finish off chest? Anyone think it's the stupidest idea ever?

HAMMER STRENGTH EQUIPMENT IS GREAT...SECOND TO FREE WEIGHTS ONLY. AND THE INCLINE PRESS MACHINE IS A MACHINE I REGULARLY USE ONE MY ROUTINE. INFACT THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN OUR ROUTINE IS I DO DB FLYES FIRST, THEN DB INCLINE, THEN HS INCLINE TO FINISH OUT CHEST.
 
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the hammer incline. I feel like it is working the front delts and arms more than chest. But, it is great if you don't have a smith machine or want to work out alone.
