I have the Lee Loadmaster. I use it for .223, but I think it's kind of overkill for 9mm (don't need that many die stations). I have the Lee Pro 1000 for 9mm "range" loads. I just picked up a Lee Classic Turret for my "competition loads".

The one weakness in my Loadmaster setup is the powder measure. The Lee Perfect Powder Measure allows small ball powders like BL-C2 to work it way out the side and you end up with a mess everywhere. I'm going to try to fit a Hornady powder measure to it. That said, it shouldn't be an issue for you with 9mm because you will be using a flake powder like Red Dot or Bullseye with the Autodisk powder measure.

I'd honestly start out with a single-stage press if I were you. You need to have a feel for what the press is doing to set it up properly and avoid mistakes. For example you must move fast through certain parts of the stroke and slow through other parts for it to consistenly work correctly. You will also gain an appreciation for what each die does and how to correct mistakes (or if a shell should just be tossed).
