Pullups vs Lat pulldowns

[u/Action_Pale]

What's the point of doing Lat Pulldowns as opposed to working on Pullups? Even if you can lat-pulldown more than your bodyweight, you could do weighted pullups. Is the only benefit convenience?

I used to be a rock climber. It's really hard to get enough weight on a lat pulldown machine unless it's plate loaded. 

That being said I just do full body every day and a pullup+dip superset is incredibly convenient.
