Best Center Pull Calipers for <32mm Tires
Is there a something similar to the Paul Racer Medium, but a little smaller?

Paul Racer is a CNC copy of Mafac RAID. The original is forged and so considerably smaller. For a 32mm tire the far more common Mafac Racer will do the job. If you have plenty of money the Rene Herse centerpull is a forged copy of Mafac RAID.
Adjusting Mafac is a bit of a trick but so is adjusting the Paul. Only downside to the old originals is the plastic bushings wear out. Rene Herse has you covered there, they have rebuild parts. Or you can search for the real old ones (it was 1969 they changed) that came with bronze bushings.

Budget is not a problem, but the Compass are made for wider tires and I like the look of not having the extra size.
