Leg Presses aren't strictly necessary though, although if you ever get some kind of Hand or Arm injury, then do them, as they'll probably be one of the only things you'll be able to do, to preserve muscle mass, when you can't physically handle DB's or BB's.
Just don't do them any other time, as you don't really need to.
