I have the "professional" one from William's Brewing, and I love it. Mine is not the same one shown on the site right now, it's an older version that is yellow. The new one looks just as tough though, and I highly recommend it. Just make sure to screw it down. It takes some force, but caps very consistently.

I have been looking at a Colonna Capper as I plan to start bottling Belgians and it will be able to do both corks and caps.

I have a colonna capper and I love it. I really don['t have much to compare it to, the only other capper that I've used is a wing capper, but I've never had a problem capping and corking with the colonna.
+1 for the colonna capper corker. It took me all of 2 bottles to get used to the motion and feel, and my previous experience is with a wing capper. The looks are not all that stylish though. The wife calls it the quantum leap machine...

kind of expensive for a boat anchor
You could certainly use it for one, but the cap consistency/quality is 2nd to none that I've seen. Makes me very comfortable about my long-aged beers.
