Not everyone needs a progressive press. The turret press is not a big leap, it's just a good step in the right direction.

Well said! An auto indexing LCT will give you 95% of the process control (and safety) of a single stage and an honest production rates of 4-5 rounds a minute. ( Figure 150 rounds an hour including set-up, refills, inspections etc.)
Personally, I don't like progressive presses for most reloading ( and sold mine off long ago.) With the turret, I see and feel every operation. I am part of the process. With a full progressive , there are 4-5 things going on at once so it's harder to see/feel when something goes south ( as it eventually will.)
Personally, I look at the LTC as the Chevy Truck of reloaders. Maybe not the biggest, badast and most expensive but as much ride as most will ever need.
