Both are excellent machines, just about equivalent in operation and features, although the Hornady may be a bit faster for caliber changes. There is a big difference in price, however, with the advantage definitely to Hornady, and an even bigger difference when considered in light of Hornady's free bullets promotion! Both are high quality, auto-indexing progressive presses, and both offer automatic case feeders and bullet feeders as options. You can't go wrong with either.

You may want to buy on line, though, as sales tax on a full retail purchase at Dillon's store, just north of Scottsdale Airport, will be a whopping huge amount, and the trip up and back on the 101 willl be aggravating (especially southbound through Scottsdale any time after 2:00 PM). For instance, Graf's has the L-n-L AP on sale at about $414 right now, plus a $4.95 handling fee, with free shipping, and you still get the free bullets direct from Hornady! That will be several hundred less than retail for the 650 plus sales tax, even before you consider the value of the free bullets. Just some food for thought. Either will serve you well.
