LMSC - For the tampers at least, JoeFrex and Concept art are just brand names of the exact same thing. In fact, I owned one of them a while back. They are made very well, and are very sturdy BUT… Unlike the Bravo or the Normcore, Force, etc… it does NOT have a levelling plate which rests on the top of the basket. Therefore, yes, you will be applying the exact same pressure every time, but you will need to make sure your tamping is straight and level - the JoeFrex/ConceptArt tamper will not eliminate that variable for you.
