Not really. Tool head w/ powder thru & conversion, $80. You need a tool head for the turret too, unless you just want to screw the dies in & out, so less $13, $67 for a 550b conversion diff. Consider the speed potential, longevity & 75% of the work load, the 550b is a bargain even for the beginner. Want to sell it, it will always be worth 80% + of a new one. If you even think you might want a progressive down the road, buy once, it's cheaper in the long run, JMO.
