Standard Italian Floor Corker or Champagne model?

Trying to decide between these two models:

They appear to be pretty much the same model except the champagne version has an added stabilizing arm that allows the option to cork champagne bottles. While I'm not doing champagne at the moment I wouldn't mind having the option for the future. Any reason not to go with the champagne version?

Think you answered your own question.

One is rated 88% 5 star and 12% 4 star. The champagne version has a 1 star but it only has the one review.

I have the Italian Floor Corker and am very happy with the product.

I don't think that you need either of those two corkers. The Portuguese floor corker will serve almost all your needs and works with 375 ml, 750 ml, and 1.5 liter straight cork bottles. And it's about half the price of the champagne model.

Research the champagne making process before making your final decision to determine if that is a process you can see yourself engaging in.
