I would highly recommend this press: http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=2347251&mpage=1&key=bowmender%2c press&#2347251

It's not a bench-top model, but you were talking about not breaking the bank! It's the only press I own currently (though I'll probably be picking up a Last Chance EZ press next year), and I think just about all the guys on Bowtech's Corporate Staff own and use it frequently with high praise.

It'll save on space, and you can take it to your 3d shoots or to hunting camp with you behind the seat of your truck!
