This doesn't seem to be very popular in this forum but I'll throw a vote for the Hornady LnL. I have one for about 1 month now and I am new to reloading. One of the best feature I could not find on other progressive presses is the Lock N Load bushings. Being a newbie, it allows you to bypass any step by simply removing or rearranging the die with the bushing and still keep your previous settings. I could no imagine how it would be with others but I think it would be a big hassle without this feature. You can change calibers quite easily even for a newbie like me. I reload 3 calibers; 45ACP, 9mm Luger and 223. I don't see the need to buy 1 progressive press for each of these calibers like I've read mentioned in this forum because conversion with the LnL is quite quick, again even for a newbie like me. I guess there is a reason why some would spend over $500 for a new press just to have 1 caliber always setup and because they "love" the press so much they want more than one. My wife would never allow me to do that so I went with a press that makes it easy enough to switch calibers without buying a new press each time.
Just my $0.02 to let you know there are other choices.

On dillon presses, you pull out two pins and slide out the toolhead.



No need to buy bushings to keep the dies adjusted.
You just leave all the dies for each setup in it's own toolhead.

The people you hear about having one press for each cartridge are just advanced reloaders who appreciate not ever needing to reconfigure the press to change cartridges.
