I currently have 3 RCBSs, 3 Lyman 45s, 1 Lyman 450 and a SAECO copy on my bench all bought second hand for less that a new Star. For my needs this set up is far superior in ease of use and setting than the Star but if volume sizing/lubing in one or two diameters with one or two bullet designs with the same lube then the Star is the machine to go for.
