Hand Press Options & Belt Tipper

[Gulrok]

Hi folks.

Tandy is ending their sale soon of both of these.

I'm trying to decide between getting the belt - tipper or not. It is currently down to $400.

Additionally.

The craft tool press.

or

The regular model or the pro model? Also, alternatively are there other models that work with dies? I'm having trouble picking. Spending time organizing the shop right now so hopefully someone can put some input in. Thanks,

Trevor

I know the tooling is different but I don't see the difference between that craftool press and this kind of thing from Amazon
