I do have the dremel press but i would NEVER use it on a plastic model, even at a "low speed" (mine is variable). Its just fine for drilling holes in my brass stock for the catenary and such, but it doesn't have the precision and safety you can get by hand. The dremel press doesn't hold the dremel tool absolutely solid, it can still shift a tiny bit, and thats more than enough to mess up a model.
I've only ever used the dremel press on plastic when i intended to do major surgery, like removing molded on fans of EMD models with the plan to replace them with cannon & Co versions, etc.
i think if you doing little details, like lift rings, we need something with a more delicate touch, something that won't run away on us so easy as a dremel will. thats just my thoughts.
