Help me decide on a shop press

I am looking at a few hydraulic presses at harbor freight and am wondering if anyone here has any first hand experience.

I am only a hobbyist mechanic. I plan on pressing out my rear wheel bearings on my 124, some rear bushings, etc. it likely will see use once or twice a year.

That said, I am not looking for a $5k industrial press, as it will be an epic waste of money. I prefer the smallest footprint possible, as I will stick it in a corner when not in use.

The 6 ton table top model is appealing, but may be too wimpy? $75
The 12 ton "grey" one is nice as a floor standing unit. $129
Lastly, the 20 ton press "grey" one. Likely the same size as the 12 ton just stronger. $200.

The 6 ton would be my first choice for cost and space concerns, as long as it will do the job.
