Does anyone own this or can suggest an alternative to this? If you own some, I'd love to hear your experience of their value (or lack thereof). I couldn't find any reference to them when searching eGullet, so sorry if this discussion has already been had.
Saw these from a video awhile back. It was J. Kenji López-Alt who I first saw using them.
I'm in central Texas and maybe these prices are affordable in the Bay Area but they’re are outrageous to me!
Tempted because it is a neat design which not only allows for stacking for creating more weight, but also "staggering" to create a larger area of coverage. Seems very functional, but I don't have much experience with using any press.
I figure it just helps you free a hand while pan searing meat so you don't have to press the meat yourself. Please educate me if you see it's uses beyond what is advertised. 
8.oz = $14.00
13.oz = $19.00
