It looks like the OTC Grappler + HF press kit is a good option for around $200:

With the benefit that you don't have to remove the rear brake shoes, which is required (at least on 2000S which is what I have) when doing the rear wheel bearings using the SIR tool (so the horseshoe can press flush)

You probably couldn't get the OTC Grappler from an auto parts rental but some of them might have the press kit?
