I agree with you to try one with adjustable pressure. Some of these are called yoke-style and there are various manufacturers which make them. At a wiiiide variety of price points. But the Paige model is less expensive. I haven't checked lately but Dunlop may also make a less expensive version.
You might also look at a Shubb. I have 5 or 6 capos with differing mechanisms. I consider my Shubb Deluxe one of the best. It is adjustable via a small screw. It's probably the most affordable and for the money, hard to beat.
I also have an older (~20 yr old), brass Victor Dunlop which has a very nice screw mechanism. Some folks have commented that the newer ones are not as nice as these older ones. I've seen the older brass style for sale on eBay.
