What's the reasoning for the all-in-one? Nothing wrong with it, I just want to make sure you're not pre-maturely dismissing the notion of something else though.

You could definitely get most of what you want with a cage like that from Titan, an FID bench for about $200 (I'd suggest the Rep fitness FID bench), a barbell in the $150-200 range), and a high/low pulley system for ($200-400).




So this BodySolid unit is somewhere around 85" (but that may be too tall as well):

This one is 80"-83" (dimensions vary by site a little) and if you were going to do this, I'd seriously consider just buying a rack and a lat machine separately though:

But there is no smith-machine on that (which is better, imo). The unit you linked in the OP has a smith-machine, but the bar-path on the unit you linked appears to be angled backward. That wouldn't be ideal for squat, bench press, or overhead press. The three main lifts you'd probably want spotting on. If you don't care about those lifts, well, then there's really no need for that smith-machine anyhow. If you do care about those lifts, than that's a really odd bar-path. And honestly, even an upright smith-machine isn't ideal usually.

This one is 84" (but also $3,500):

Edit: Somebody was asking about this one in another thread. It's 82" high:

But again, at that price range (after you add the attachments), you'd probably be better off buying separate pieces.

You should invest (-: They are the best for muscle isolation.
