Is the Bergeon 6825-PF spring bar tool that much better?

I've recently been considering the purchase of a Bergeon 6825-PF spring bar tool. It's on sale right now at Otto Frei for $30 off the regular price.

See it here...

I was hoping that those of you who have one may be able tell me whether it's that much easier to use than my Bergeon 6767-F or, should I just save my money?

Save your money and just work one side at a time. I have several Bergeon tools but now just use an old screwdriver.

Thanks guys.

As I said in my OP, I already have a Bergeon 6767F spring bar tool.

I'd like to hear from those of you who have a 6825-PF.

How well does the more expensive one work?

I obviously work on watches all day everyday, and I only use the 6767-F. It works on everything, and is a breeze to use.
