    Hi Jessica, I've had bi-bench experience and have to say without
    reservation, I love my Frei Bench.  The cutout accommodates the
    bench pin in such a way that you can sit close to your bench while
    working over the scrap drawer.  It also can accommodate your graver
    ball and/or benchmate tools more conveniently.  Also, addressing a
    previous post about benches, the reason I love my Frei bench is
    because the construction is of a nice heavy solid maple wood (oak is
    available also) that literally takes a pounding.  The drawers have
    quality hardware that rolls real smooth and are easy to take out if
    needed.  On both sides of the cutout are retractable arm rests which
    are great when doing a lot of piercing. Anyway, that's my 2
    cents.....
