The OTC is real nice. The Kent Moore has fairly thin inserts for different pistons and pin diameters. It works well and can take pistons with not a lot of room. You may want to check it out. You can get used on eBay from time to time.
Good to know but it is very rare that I am taking press fit pistons off with the intention of reusing them. I got the OTC set in a swap of some sorts years ago otherwise I don't think I would have bought it. I bet I haven't used it three times in the last three years :)
