Besides the well thought out design, speed of use, and accurate reliable ammo it produces, caliber changes are pretty easy.
The auto index places it well ahead of the 550, for my purposes.
I spent a lot of time at the Dillon booth at an NRA convention, trying out all their presses. The Square Deal is clunky and gritty by comparison, with lousy leverage. No way you could do bottleneck cases on that thing. 550 was OK, but, like I said, the auto index and extra die location on the toolhead really sold me. I did look at the 1050, but caliber conversions are a big headache.
Just my opinions here, but, I hope this helps,

Read the fine print....Square deals are only for PISTOL cartridges.....They were out there LONG BEFORE the 650 was invented....I have 2 and 6 caliber changes......Bought it over the 550 because I wanted auto indexing.....Great machines.......All Dillons.......Sadly Mike D passed on earlier this year..........
