300e Control arms or bushings

Recently bought some control arm bushings(mB original) since they are on sale on Fastlane and cheaper than the aftermarket.
Problem arose now cos I have asked a few mechanics about installing them:
(1)moonlighting MB mechanic says he has no press,maybe cheaper installing the new WHOLE control arms
(2)shop with press says with old car and rusted arms,most of the time you may end up cutting the arms with torch,dont touch them unless i am prepared to buy NEW ARMSWhich comes with bushing and bjs.I only have bushings.
Is this the opinion of the board that it;s better to buy NEW ARMS,its no pt buying bushings cos it's difficult to change out.?
