I would recommend the similar version available from Dadant & Sons.  The
major difference is the Dadant model is a two piece unit separated by a
wooden bound queen excluder (with the wood frame removed).  The BIG
advantage is after the cappings have drained you can lift off this
section and move the lid to the lower honey holding tank.
 
Another plus is that after use and cleaning the tanks neatly stack inside
each other to cut storage space in half.
 
I have read all the plastic excluder comments and am sure you get the
idea!
