I bought the deluxe thinking I might want to do bhb. It is a bit large for my hand but I've gotten accustomed to it. If I had it to do again, would probably go smaller. Use it for spacers a lot and in conjunction with the rolling marver to get tube beads centered on the mandrel for even pressing. Also really like it for making twisties.
My learning curve has not been speedy but nothing in lampworking has come easy for me.
Days when I use it my arthritis does not seem as bad the next day. All in all money well spent for me.
