I know there are bushings but, if I count right, that is a minimum of 5 movements to get them out. 2 pins on the XL650 and you are done UNLESS you don't purchase an extra tool head. $15-$20 used through ebay.

Both are great machines and capable of producing a bunch of quality ammo in a hurry. Neither one should be put down. They just have differences is all. The ONLY thing that makes one better than the other is personal preference, period.

The LNL bushing system is an advantage over the Dillon/Lee toolhead system because you can easily add/remove/setup dies individually. Makes it easier to adjust the dies - you can concentrate on one without the others interfering.
At the start of a reloading session, I like to remove all of the dies except the powder measure and do a bunch of test throws to verify that it is throwing what I want. Then plug the rest in and start loading.
I also have a couple different seating dies depending on the bullet - one is for wadcutters and is set for almost no crimp. Another is set for full power SWC with heavy crimp. I just swap the one die, and don't have to touch the others.
