i am with a same dilemma of an extremely limited space. but i would say, i would try to do all i can to permanently mount one press per one workstation and then never move it around.
also, i think you may need a wider steel plate under the press to prevent any wobbling. wood is too bendy, i had to put 5mm thick steel corner bar under the bench to avoid any press movements when i pull the handle.

also, for the dillon - get this handle, do not hate yourself and save yourself from future blisters.

Here, it shows the mount and how bolts go all the way through bench. i made it at the level so i can sit by the press when i run a batch, not stand.
