Some years ago my department adopted the then new Glock 17 as a duty pistol. So I set about to learn everything I needed to know to shoot it accurately under any condition. That meant 5000 rounds of 9mm reloads, all done on a Rockchucker, 50 rounds per session. It was great stress relief and just plain fun.
Today, I just counted, there are 25 full size turret presses in the basement, one, a Lyman T-Mag II has 8 turrets. I have used all of them and they work OK, but I still load on a single stage RCBS A4 and a Precision PR3.
It's slower with die changes, and I do spend time screwing dies in and out for every step, otherwise there is no difference.
I just like the pleasurers of quiet time at the reloading bench.
I am not a fan of Lee products, but what the Lee fans say is true, their presses give them shortened production time without the cost and physical size of a Dillon.
It's something to consider if it meets your criteria.
I think I'll go prime some 45 ACP brass, one at a time on a Lachmiller tool.
