theoretically no, the matchine was designed to give you the exact same exersize as free weight benching, and sometimes they are a little off on the weight you are actually lifting
you're benching 80 + the weight of the barbell which can vary
an MRI machine is as tall as your tallest friend and as fat as your fattest friend. none of the sites i went on had the actual dimensions.
45 seconds to a min if ur a beginner if u have been lifting for awhile 30 seconds

More effort is always required on any type of exercise where you are fully responsible for not just the Push-Pull motion, but also the stabilization of the weight. It's the same principle as to why a 50lb free weight curl is harder than a 50lb weight on a curl machine.
you only want to increase weight after being able to do 3 sets of 10 with out lots of fatigue
The maximum weight capacity of the weight stack for the cable machine is 200 pounds.
