I can see that as a definite advantage but as Forrest said. "you never know what you're going to get". You can always buy a few from Amazon, pick which one suits your need and send the other back.
The another issue I've seen with Lee dies is sizing rings that are not concentric to the die body. There's an acceptable variance as long as the anvil has enough play to center itself on the round but the worst I've seen was a .035" difference. Talk about an ugly crimp.
