Lee equipment costs 1/2 what RCBS does and probably 1/4 what Dillon charges. I've used Lee equipment for 30+ years and never had a single peice of it fail (which is more than I can say for any of the others, and I've used them all). It's not pretty, elegant or feature-rich, but it is solidly reliable and does the job just fine.

The only thing on my bench that isn't Lee is a big honking Hornady scale. The Lee scales are twee little things made of plastic. They might work great, but I don't trust them.

Dillon's warranty cannot be matched. Easy set-up allows me to switch calibers in about 30 seconds. I have 3 different reloading blocks set up that I only have to make minor adjustments to in between loading for that caliber. I got my Dillon off of GunBroker. Picked up their maintenance kit and it runs like new.

I've heard good things about Lee loaders, I just haven't ever used one.

With good reason. It's a proprietary resin that will not bend. If it's good to go, it's in one piece. If it's not, it's broken into many pieces.
