I have the base-required presses - I like the shapes available and these are the most often used by me. The drawback on this press is as barbbbeads said. It requires a base for allignment and attention to the top press, guide, bottom press and all the while attention to the glass on your mandrel and its placement.
I have the pin-guided presses - These are my favorite presses to use. Also for the same reasons barbbbeads stated. No base to worry about and no allignment worries. A few less worries than the base-required ones.

You must be talking about the Tapley presses, not Kai's. kai's are superior to any hand held press on the market today. I totally vote fpr his press over any other press, superior made and perfect bead result, and Amy's press next, which is the pin press.
