    im not fimilar with the 9870 or the multilith, but if your going to be doing alot of 4 color then get a press that has a side guide pull. I use to work at a shop where they had a ryobi 500k single color press but it ran great 4 color because it had a side guide. Without it, you will never get your 4 color to register perfectly.

    AB-Dick and Multilith are really designed for multi pass work ie. 4 colour work.
    Have a look at Heidelberg and Ryobi.
