Dillons aren't perfect either....closer....yes. So's my green presses. I'm still working on my brother's Dillon 650, trying to teach him to live with it.....and adding the "fixes" that make it better.....and I did the same thing for my Pro 2000 and Pro Chucker 7 presses. Haven't seen a 750 yet. The 550 never interested me, not enough stations for my liking.....5 is better, 7 is better still.....but I admit what got me to buy the 6000 was the 6 stations, and curiosity whether Lee could make 6 work reliably in such a small package. The jury is still out...... Hornady AP's, I haven't given much of a look yet....it's a project imperfect press too.....but I like the smooth plate rotation using half steps. The Pro Chucker is really smooth too.....I think smoother than a "fixed" 650....but that kit isn't installed on my brother's yet, so I will see first hand. None of us like powder jumping out of a short case.
Speaking of smooth.....the 6000 is a little too jerky....maybe there's a fix for that too....but I haven't had that mechanism apart.
