Oh, yeah, things break, on a rare occasion. If that happens, you call Dillon and they send you replacement parts for free, no questions asked. If you look at the results from USPSA's national championships, they show the equipment the top shooters used. Things like bullet manufacturer, bullet weight, powder, holster, and what model Dillon they load on. No, I didn't mis-type...there's not even a spot for press manufacturer....it's what Dillon they use.
Do what you want but you asked for advice and those of us who have pulled the handle a bunch are always glad to share.

I spoke with a fellow aircraft builder/IDPA master last night who owns several Dillon 650's and echoed you're sentiments about ALL the top rated folks he competes nationally with in IDPA..... they all use Dillons. That said, I am guessing that many guys go Dillon just because they see the top guys using them. I am going to do some more research, before making my decision (but will probably end up just buying the Dillon as it is set-up and ready to go).
I am thankful that no one here has tried to tell me that I CAN'T make a Lee work....
The challenge of re-engineering and /or developing new automated accesories for them is VERY tempting.
Thanks for all the feedback guys!
