My two cents would say the power hammer is more versatile.  The press is
wondeful for tool making, straightening, squishing large stock........but it
doesnt' do well on thin stock.

To have both is the best...Depending on what kind of work one is
doing...Blade work/damascus a press and hammer would be optimal. But to
choose 1 or the other....Hammer,,,
