I probably would go Redding, mostly because of the mixed comments that you hear about Lyman's customer service. Other than that, Lyman makes nice equipment.

FWIW, I too love the RCBS Turret press. I currently load 3 calibers on it. I have 2 turret heads setup for pistol (.40S&W, .45ACP pictured) using the RCBS Little Dandy. Configured: Uni-decap>size w/o decap>expand>powder>seat>crimp. My 3rd turret head is setup for 7.62x39mm. I single stage (RC II) everything else...DONE!
Nice, i really like mine. I mostly use the Lee Pro Autodisk on mine with exception of a couple less used handgun rounds where i have the RCBS Uniflow setup on the stand, also bolted to RCBS base plate. .223, .38 S&W, 38 Spec, .357 Mag, .45Colt and .44 Spec done on mine.
