there's a lot more to it than a shorter handle and of course the longer one. The actual stroke of the Co-Ax is not much different than the RCBS or the Redding, but the Co-Ax has much more power during it's stroke with the max at the right place. People talk about the cost involved, but when you get done they are not all that far apart. The Co-Ax actually dosn't need as heavy a bench top as the others due to the way all the forces are transfered. Another really good press to look at is the Lee cast iron press (both the presses are also U.S.A. made). The Forster is a lifetime press, so you buy one once. But that means little to me, as I like the way it works.

That was a big seller for me..I have mine gently anchored with 4 decking screws into an old wobly bench in the basement. The press is so mechanically efficient that it transfers little to no torque into the bench no matter what I do. I've seen others seriously flex some big benches with their less efficient presses. Not the case w/the co-ax you can size and decap with your fingertips.
