The Last Chance EZ press and X-Press are the only two that come recommended for use by most bow manufacturers. I say 'most' here because I have not called ALL of them, but Mathews, Diamond/Bowtech, Hoyt, Bear, and PSE all recommended ONLY these two when I called them 2yrs ago with this same question. The EZ is considerably cheaper than the X, and isn't as big in the shop. The X does work a little better with old D shape bows, so it will work with both, whereas the EZ press might be hard on a D shaped bow.

All of the parallel and past parallel bows that I have worked with recommend only using 'limb tip compression' style presses, no roller presses anymore.

If you're handy with a welder, you can make an EZ press for about $150-200.
