I can't keep up with all the floor pump offerings that keep changing. What I will say is that I very much prefer a non Smart head/chuck. I find a chuck with a dedicated presta hole is far easier to use. I also will spit into the chuck to help lube the interface between the valve and the rubber grommet. Makes sliding on and off the valve easier and less wear to the chuck grommet.
I'd go to your LBSs and try a few new pumps and get the one that is easiest for you to work with. Andy.
