Long story short.. if you are a novice, these may be fine for you.. if you are cutting and stripping daily... learn to use the cheap set, and it will save you time.

but i do think the calibrated crimper is actually a valid point, not sure about dental equipment, but where i used to work for environment that is subject to extreme vibration, and i can see a calibration is required.

It's done so those using a specific tool meet that crush point on the splice or caps used. They may not have the hand strength to do it with manual crimper otherwise.. the calibrated ratcheting style crimpers give an audible click.
The dental equipment I made was the wet vac pumps that sit in a closet in some back room corner and suck the spit out of your mouth 😂
I specifically state NOT the ones that strip at the rear of the handles (those are trash.. the ones that come in crimp kits)... but the ones that strip at the jaws... they take ONE fluid movement to strip, and I was MORE efficient than others who had worked the same product line for years.
With a pair of Kleins that have the wire cutters at the tip and the crimps at the rear of the jaw that takes a bit more skill as it is all done via muscle memory so as not to cut the wires. But those can strip and crimp all in one tool without ever setting them down.
I did pro car audio for 10 years as a job and was also an electronics tech in the military... I'm pretty sure I have a basic concept and knowledge on how to be effective and efficient at my jobs.

One thing to look for in that style of stripper - get the kind with a spring that auto opens. It will save a lot of time and hand effort.
These self stripping doohickeys really only make sense if you're stripping a lot of wires every day.
