I'm still very much a beginner, but I have spent some time at my local Tandy store, and they have a lot of this type of equipment out and available to test.
So maybe buy the cheap one from amazon, test it out, go to your nearest Tandy store and test theirs and draw some conclusions? This may not give you a great idea of the relative durability of the two products but it's a start. And I've had a lot of luck with the return policies on Amazon. I know $120 is a big ask to spend on an experiment, but it's Prime eligible so if it sucks you should be able to get your money back.
Yes, this was hot foil embossed.

I originally used the soldering iron that came with the brass stamp from LW Custom Works. The bolt that was used happened to work out perfectly for the Stamping Machine I purchased later. I believe it's a 4mm tapped hole but I'm not positive.
