Need to pick between an inexpensive Manncorp manual axial lead former or the Manix unit. Any one have any experience with either of these two units?

Years ago, we almost bought a Manix axial lead former / trimmer, but found a used Hepco at the last hour and went that route. I can't remember, but as I recall, we wanted to be able to do standoffs and there was some issue on standoff tooling with on
