A couple more thoughts.
The 10 pound Lee will be able to keep up with a double cavity mold quite easily, but it may lack capacity to effectively use a six cavity mold. I generally use mine for pure lead round balls. It is easy to see the spout on though.
If you plan to piggyback two pots, you may want to run another separate electrical circuit to run the second pot from. I don't know what you have, but better to be safe than sorry.

I have all 3 and the last one i got was the Lyman 61.
I fixed the plug in and it has been used for 5 years or more.
The others are on the floor.
I did that, putting my 4-20 over the ProMelt I refurbished. I used a hole saw to open the aluminum base to let the lead stream through. The ProMelt is wide enough to allow clamping the 4-20 on top, though I did get hardware from Lee to shorten the distance from spout to base.
I hate fiddling with the alloy stream as the head pressure decreases as the pot empties, especially as I have to fiddle it back once I refill the pot. With stacked pots I'll cast no more than a quarter pot, refill from the top, recharge the top with sprues and ingots, and then cast another quarter pot, etc., without having much change in head pressure and without ever having to mess with the adjustment screw.
Just another opinion, the Pro-Melt is the best score. Mine is at least 40 years old and still going strong.

I am using a Lee pot just like that. I like that it's fairly easy to see the spout. If I can't see the spout I usually make a mess trying to hit the sprue holes.
Maybe I'll grow up someday & do better.

I just pick up a Sacco model 24 pot for $50 at legs.
I have a Saeco that's the same post as your Lyman which I absolutely love. I also have a Pro Melt. Those old Lyman/Saecos are awesome.
I have the first two pictured and I really really like the Lyman, mine is beat to heck and it still heats fast and pours smooth.
I even ran zinc through it once.
