Short answers to the practical questions that come up most often when comparing this category.
Not necessarily. A 10-inch platen gives you more room, but you can still press smaller portions. The tradeoff is simply a larger footprint and, with cast iron, more weight to move or store.
Choose cast iron if you value platen mass and a traditional heavy press. Choose hardwood if easier handling, a warmer counter presence and lower weight matter more to you.
Yes. The platen sets the maximum working area; your masa portion determines the actual tortilla size.
A press can flatten some wheat-flour doughs, but gluten makes the dough spring back. For many flour-tortilla recipes, a rolling pin still gives more control over final diameter and thinness.
