Spent the last couple nights setting my new LNL and pumping out rounds. After Clownpuncher's horror story i figured id post my experience.
To make a long story short, pretty much everything went flawlessly. The press is solid and smooth, and came 90% ready to go as it came. I spent more time cleaning it than anything.
Powder drop is acurate, the action is smooth, changeovers are easy enough once you get the hang of it, and i really couldnt be happier with my purchase. It doesnt seem to like Tula primers, you have to push down really hard to seat them and it screws up your rhythm.
Havent had any real hiccups other than the thousands of useless Tula primers i have now. I Finally feel like part of the 21st century, and my time spent reloading is alot more enjoyable now
All told i got the press for $369, plus $150 worth of bullets which i just sent out for today.
Heres what the new bench looks like, I moved the Lee single stage off to the side and plan on using it to develop loads.

The Turret press has been banished to the corner where it will likely sit unused unless i feel the need to drag that cabinet inside and deprime a bunch of stuff while watching TV. Probably not gonna happen since i have no reason to deprime separately. No big loss, i always hated that thing anyway
