It is true that it doesn't have the same compound leverage as a Rockchucker, but it does have compound leverage.
With that kit, all you would need is powder measure and maybe a good hand priming tool. The press has a priming tool, but I personally don't like handling primers. With the hand tool, you dump them in the pan, and prime them all. You also get a better feel for how well the primer is going in to the case, because you don't have the compound leverage.
It looks like Cabellas has a better kit, for $10 more.

The Cabellas kit has the better RC Supreme Press, plus it comes with the Uniflow powder measure, and the hand priming tool. Those 2 items alone are worth about $120. You will need some sort of powder measure for the other kit anyway.
Looks like a no brainer, for $10 more.
