Not questioning the validity of your opinion, or your wealth of experience - although there are plenty on the forum who have as much or more experience. Suppliers are welcome on the forum, but as I said it is good form, though not obligatory to declare yourself as such.
I don't believe that anyone was directly stating that the quality of the Jarin press was inferior, merely that swing presses are more usable than clam presses in general. That is an opinion that is widely held within the industry. You are the only person in this thread that has questioned the quality of a specific brand.
As Jarin is a niche brand, I maintain that is is highly unlikely that every football club bought one through considered choice. It is more likely that it was bought because it is the brand their suppliers sell. That doesn't infer that Jarin are no good, but neither does it imply that they are better because they are used in the Premier League. Maybe that is a sales pitch that works well when selling into the 'Kiss Me Quick' seaside retailers ( I was in that trede myself in the early 1990's), but you could probably find a better USP when selling to the wider industry.
