There isnt much "accesories" on a 12A.Thats all aftermarket..
Mine can be stripped down to a short block in 10 mins or under,And what do you consider "professional"?You will be suprised who uses buckets,or wooden crates with wheels on the to hold engines,cars that are running 5s in the 1/8.Only time I use the hoist for the engine is when I need to flip it to put on the front cover/and its internal acessories,which then goes into the car,
But every one has thier ways of doing things,I have no complaints on mine..
