I like the top one simply because the alu inserts work very nicely and the tool itself is easy to make.I don't buy tooling based on clamp type or how many sides per insert you get. I go based on insert shape & performance. Top uses positive inserts & bottom uses negative inserts. I use both CCMT & CNMG for different applications but I use CCMT style inserts more.
I recently made a deal with a friend exchanging a job for this little new edition to my shop.Dont you get twice as many sides on the bottom one. Your lathe is sturdy enough. Where are you going to buy them from.?
