I have presses from both Zooziis and Mikes Brass for Glass. I love them both. while there are some overlaps in shapes, I would look at both because each does have some unique presses. It just depends on what press you want (the faceted barrell from Mike makes really nice chunky bracelets! It's my newest press and I totally love it)

Catt is awesome, and always offers a "deal" if you want to buy a press and base combo. This is a good way to start, if you ask me, since you can then pick up Cattwalk presses in Garage Sale and you've already purchased the base.
Amy at Zoozii's has been wonderful to me, too! She did a great job on my custom "initials" Word Press!
I occasionally shop on eBay for Coonvally as well! David, owner of Coonvally, is a nice guy and will sometimes consider doing "custom" sizes of regular presses he makes routinely if you write and inquire - time allowing, that is! You can find his work here:
http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/coonvallybpresses
Lastly, I have a ChristyL lentil press that simply can't be beat in the itty-bitty sizes...they are perfect for earrings - not too heavy!!! It's showing sold-out right now, but she may be able to tell you when they will be available again if you shoot her an email:

Good luck and Happy Torching!
