What's the difference between a functional trainer and a cable crossover?

Reviewer consensus

A functional trainer has two adjustable pulleys that slide up and down a column, letting you set them to any height for full-body work. A traditional cable crossover has fixed high and low pulleys spaced wide apart. Functional trainers are more versatile for a home gym; crossovers are more specialized for chest work and require more floor space.
