how are they different? is one better than the other? on the floor you can be sure that your shoulders aren't dropping.

The bench allows you a greater range of motion. Although you don't want to drop your arms too far past parallel, it is good to go slightly beyond parallel to get a good stretch through the chest wall. Your elbows will go past where the floor would normally be and that is a good thing. I find this especially true with flies. I much prefer using the bench to the floor.

I agree. Up until I got a bench, I used my coffee table...
