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.

I run a 550 & 650, the 550 is the progressive to have for those that wish for the control of a turret. The manual indexing lets you go as slow as molasses or twice as fast as a turret. If i had to sell off stuff, the 650 would probably go first.
