I am wondering if the difference in reviews comes down to the difference in expectations. It does not seem the ideal press for heavy work, like FL sizing of large cases. No compound linkage for a start, just a heck of a long lever. But I have other presses for that. I plan on rationalizing my press collection next year lol and something else will make way for the Summit if I go ahead. . On the face of it the Summit is attractive for it's top of bench mount, small footprint and precision bullet seating. Yes, I know I can get the latter on other presses. I do note there is plenty of current stock in NZ, which maybe is an indicator of popularity, or of the impact of negative reviews.

Yeah when I looked last it was readily available plus in the case of Workshop Inno he has heavily discounted his remaining stock which made me wonder as well.
