I have a Lee Loadmaster dedicated to .223.
I have a Lee Pro 1000 dedicated to 9mm.
I have a Lee "big" Classic press dedicated to .50 BMG.
I have a Lee Breech Lock that is dedicated to depriming and is occassionally used for other small tasks.
For all other calibers and competition loads, I have a Lee Classic Turret. I have multiple turrets that I simply pop in for a new caliber. I don't use a powder measure with the turret press, I have a Lyman automatic scale that I use instead.
The only real problems that I have with any of my Lee presses is that the Pro 1000 has a rather poor primer feed system (it often seats primers sideways or crushes them--I always use Winchester primers for this reason) and the Lee Perfect Powder measures spews BL-C2 on the Loadmaster. I think I'm going to purchase a Hornady powder measure to fix the problem. I think it's funny that the Lee Perfect Powder Measure is around $20, and the Hornady powder measure w/ progressive press kit is around $120.
On an unrelated note, I have three Lee Perfect Powder measures for sale. They work great as long as you don't hook them up to a progressive press.
