I've asked the guys at the LBS to let me see the Park press tool. It works exactly as the $30 one from eBay does. The bushing goes into the cup to keep it centered and leveled. I could not justify spending $150 on the Park tool. I think the only major difference is that the Park tool can accommodate few more, rare sizes. The cheaper Park tool ($70) doesn't have the bushings, just flat washers so it'd be easy to mess up the headtube and cups with it.
For the price of one Park tool I got a cup press, a headset remover, a crown race remover, a crown race setter and few other tools. I would not be able to buy the same tools from Park.
