Of course Nastase did win a ton of the Year End Championships with four championships in five tournaments.

I agree.They ahd a short but exciting rivalry, with opposing styles and personalities.

Smith won 2 DC finals over Nastase, a Wimbledon Final and a Masters .

Nasatse beat Stan in two Masters finals but didn´t beat Stan anywhere else - major titles-

H2H seems like Smith was the dominant guy, although Nastase was more talented.

I think it was a pitty Smith turned off by 1974 and never regained old form.At least, nastase was an outsider till 1976.
