My youngest is now 23 and it has only been in the last 10 years that jumping into recreational shooting has even been a possibility for me.
But that is not relevant to the question at hand. The actual question isn't asking is the Lee classic turret press any good and it's not do you have a romantic relationship with your LCT. If that were the question then you would be on track.

I agree. The issue of money and/or finances wasn't relevant to the original question. That came up later.
The original post was this:

Right now I make a few hundred rounds/month.
I'm really looking at progressives, but I'd like to know this before making the 'leap'.

He specifically asked how much faster a turret press is than a single stage.
The short answer to that question is "A lot."
The other poster then started talking about money, including how much his time is worth. And you and I both agree with his point.
Then you posted this:

I was simply offering a real world explanation as to why somebody may not take the leap and buy a more expensive setup.
I don't have a "romantic relationship" with my turret press.
I bought it because it would be faster than my single stage and I couldn't afford something more expensive.
I like it because it works.
