Default Valve Spring Compressor

The valve spring compressor I own works great on standard valve springs, but not so great on my new "beehive" springs as the retainers are smaller than on a standard spring.

This spring compressor is the type that has the 2 different lenght arms and the screw in the middle for compressing the spring.

As the heads are on the engine, I need one of the lever types.
Jegs shows a Moroso, a generic and their own brand.

Does anyone have any input as to what to stay away from?

Thanks in advance.
