For loading load pistol caliber. I know it's not the coolest press but will it do the job for 10-20 years?
Is the square deal b worth twice as much?
is the rl550 worth 3 times as much?
My monthly round count will be around 1000 rounds

If I were going to buy a Lee Progressive, I would buy a loadmaster.
(and I did).
It works wonderfully for handgun rounds. Rifle rounds are a little harder because the case feeder just doesn't do a good job without some mods.
Lee is a budget model, and you will tinker with it a bit more than a higher end. However, now that I've got it properly setup, cranking 1000 rounds of 9mm isn't any different with it than any other machine.
What's the difference between 1000 and the loadmasters?
I would always go Dillon with reloading equipment. The quality can't be beaten and their customer service is off the chart.
And the Calendars! LMAOQuote:

With the Dillion, I could load 1000's of rounds without an issue.
5 stations vs 3. The load master is a much stronger platform.
I have a Dillon 650XL I've been using for about 14 years now. Running strong and it has more rounds made on it than I can easily think of! I've worn out two guns with that press, if that's any indication. Solid as rocks.
You get what you pay for. This is especially true when you are talking about reloading presses.

No regrets at all with my 550b.
