Which Cattwalk press should I buy?

Does anyone have the Button and/or the Pastille press? Which one do you prefer and WHY?

I'm a Zoolii press buyer, but want to step into the Cattwalk arena and see what they have to offer...

Thanks very much!

I have both and they are different enough I wouldn't live without either.

The pastille is a more delicate bead. It takes less glass than the button and feels very soft in your hand. Your finger likes the little indentation on the flat sides of the bead. Until the button came out it was the press I grabbed first.
The button takes a significant amount of glass, and offers four cavities. The extra one over the pastille is a bigger cavity. For that alone, I would choose the button. The edges are straight and the top and bottom swell up in a gently dome.
But honestly, whichever one you choose I think you will be happy.

I love them both, but prefer the button.
