Buying first quality rifle rest - advice welcome

https://www.targetshooting.com/product/model-1000lp-rifle-rest/

I am looking at the above one piece front and rear rest. I own mostly PRS and tactical/sniper bolt action rifles. I have no plans to shoot F class or benchrest but am an enthusiastic handloader. I am tired of shooting on a bench using biPods and rear bag or using a front pillow to hold the rifle. My use would be for load development, zeroing aNd shooting ladders, etc. as these sit lower then a lead sled and are so easy to adjust and repeat the same position, I thought the one piece may be better then two piece.

I’d appreciate hearing from anyone that uses quality rifle rest and what they think would be best for my needs. Most were 1,000$ plus and this was one of the few under 1k that still looked solid and well thought out....C
 
Am I better off with a one piece or two? I don’t have any idea of what extra’s to order or questions to ask? I know I want one that is low and easy to get around. Both of the presses you sent look great. I just want to make sure I don’t spend a lot of money and find out their were other things I should have thought about. I guess that would change the topic to: “What do you look for in a good rest and why?” One example would be if you can shoot an AR on it? (I have no plans to do so...)

I have used the 1000LP rest for about 3 years and it is a fantastic rest for bench shooting as you and I do the same kind of shooting!!
