Well, I've heard and believe, that a smith machine makes you lift in an unnatural path, straight versus the natural arc, so the lift is different. I've heard some people could lift more on a smith machine and some people less, I guess it has to do with your personal leverages.
I love free weights too, but if it's all I had I'd certainly use the smith machine and not think twice about it. Just keep adding weight and you'll most likely progress.
BTW, I think heavy shrugs with a smith machine rocks.
