I prefer the Super Pista over the standard pista (as shown above) unless you need to carry the smaller pump frequently and have limited space. I own (and have owned) plenty of both but nothing newer than the iteration with triangular shaped base and wooden handle. The plastic handle of the Pista was never good ergonomically and the small base with only one foot pad also is a compromise, tho the early Super provided a much better wooden handle, and bigger size for greater capacity, the base on these is still less than ideal, being just slightly bigger than the standard and still only a one-footer. My DIY fix is to cut an add-on base from whatever scrap wood I have and bolt that onto the metal bases, they actually come with one hole already from factory so I just drill another. I learned this "trick" from a friend's Silca pump and have made a bunch for myself and others. I countersink the fasteners and if feeling really thorough I glue ribbed rubber to the bottom of the wood for even more "stickiness" to the floor.
Lastly the 2 I have with aftermarket (fancy expensive) Japanese pump heads really are slick to use, but I never paid full-boat for any of my pumps or these heads. I buy 2nd-hand.
