i assume pin presses are done with the safety pins set at varying heights to work on specific areas of the ROM that are giving you trouble, yes?
what about floor presses though, I've never heard of those.

Board presses are awesome.. I do them alone all the time. It's really the same concept as regular bench if you're lifting by yourself. Go as heavy as you're able to go, and stop if you feel like you may or may not get another rep.
If I go really heavy and don't think I can make it, I have a spotter watch me. If I fail, I can comfortably rest the bar on my boards and wait for some help.
I just loathe pin presses. Boards make no noise, and have that inch or two of give to really power that bitch up. Very closely mimicks regular bench vs. pin presses. IME, having tried both, boards have much more carryover.
