am looking to get a press to reload mainly 9mm. i found a dillon 450 for about 150.00 with no dies. i know it can be upgraded to the 550, but i can also get a lee loadmaster ready to rock for 250.00 . are the dillons realy that much better? tell me what you guys think?

It's not worth the cost of upgrading a 450 as the 450 will need a frame swap, a powder measure and a priming system to be a 550.
If you forgo the frame swap, it's still going to cost you $100+ for the powder measure and priming system.
You can find used 550's for $275 if you look around.
Dillons are really that much better.Randall Rausch
