For bushings a 12 ton is fine, it's the 'whatnot' jobs that it can't handle well. I've got a 12 ton to sell you cheap so I can step up and buy a 20 ton. Seriously, a 12 ton is too puny and flexible for medium jobs like straightening flanges and a sheet metal brake. Spend the extra 50 bucks and you'll never regret it.

I have two 20-ton presses at the shop. One is air powered, the other is manual hydraulic. Personally I have only used the manual hydraulic one twice and it seems to press bearings in and out far easier and more accurate than the air powered one we use everyday. Personally I would stick with the 20-ton if your using it on a daily basis or on hubs that you know for sure are not going to be coming out like a walk in the park. 12-tons are cool and all, but not for certain heavy duty applications like removing seized bearings. This is just my opinion hehe.
