So, you've used all three types and still prefer the Bessy.

If I had a bunch of pipe clamps, I suspect I wouldn't be getting these
4-ways.
The price is so low on these, I had to bite. The cauls being integrated in
them isn't the feature that makes me want them. To me it's the
customization of length-- similar to pipe clamps. But, the fact that they
use cauls for that purpose is definitely a bonus.

We'll see what happens next time I have a panel glue-up.
Who knows, maybe I'll be buying a bunch of Bessys. :-)

We all work a bit differently so they may be just the ticket for you... or
maybe not. After some experience with them you'll know if they work for YOU.
Having the Bessy clamps, a bunch of handscrews, a bunch of C-clamps, a bunch
of spring clamps, packing tape, rubber bands, and 4 pipe clamps that I can
adjust for length is meeting my needs. I've been known to use a vacuum bag
food sealer for things too. ;~)
