Bagger:

You want to feel as though your whole machine (especially the inclined plane) adjust to be 'level' to the terrain for which you play. Saying that, the different lies will create different ball flights:

UpHill: Higher flight, potential less distance
Downhill: Lower flight, potential more distance (especially roll)

Feet Below Ball: Potential for Big Draw/Hook
Feet Above Ball: Potential for Big Fade/Slice

As you said, most practice ranges do not have these types of scenarios set up....one thing we can do is to adjust our machine to the shot at hand. We have to assume that the ball flight may be affected by the stance/lie, so we adjust our machine accordingly based on our swing patter to 'balance out' the effects of said stance/lie.

I know, I know...easier said that done...
