Press requires a rod heater to install them, possibly a freezer as well for the pins depending on how tight the register is, full floating you don't need a machine shop to install them, and they're more reliable since you have 2 points for the piston to pivot on, the outter and inner part of the pin, rather than just the outer. Floating > press.

I hate spiro locks. PIA to remove!!! I like Mahle's setup, they use the single heavy duty F1 style c-ring, and the piston has a relief cut in it to move the ring around where you ned to and remove it with relative ease.
