Default Benchtop Hydraulic Press??

I have been considering a small, economical, 6-10 ton benchtop press for some projects I have coming up. I have a heavy duty Weldon vice that I have been using for a press but I broke a cheaper vice using it that way so I want to get something more purpose built. It would likely only be used for small stuff such as suspension bushings, bearings, etc. and I don't have room in my garage for a full size floor standing model. What are you guys using and what are your likes/dislikes of it?

I am thinking some thing like this:
Amazon.com: Premium Steel 6 Ton, 12,000 lbs Hydraulic Bench Top Shop Press with Press Plates: Automotive Amazon.com: Premium Steel 6 Ton, 12,000 lbs Hydraulic Bench Top Shop Press with Press Plates: Automotive
I like the H-frame design a little better and seems it would be a bit more sturdy than the Harbor Freight A-frame press. 6 Ton A-Frame Bench Shop Press
