Single-leg Leg Press vs Squat:

Can you comment on the functional comparison between these two exercises? They seem to work similar muscle groups, and their modified versions are identical.

If one has the ability and equipment to do weighted squats (and to progress by adding weight), is/are there added benefit(s) from also doing single-leg leg presses with a resistance band? IF so, what? Is upper-body involvement from anchoring the band meant to be part of the point here?

Thanks!
