Unless you're loading REALLY high volume, go with the Dillon 550. Good speed, reliable, easy to use and the best warranty out there. Also easy to change to different calibers. I load about 20 different ones on mine.

Dillon 550. Dad and I dusted off his 25+ year old one a year ago. I called Dillon and they said for $64 they'll go over it and replace all the seals and update whatever needs updated so we shipped it off. Got it back in a couple weeks and it was like brand new. Very impressed with Dillon.

Dillon 650xl why index by hand when you don't have to. Progressives are about speed. Dillion is the best made and the best warranty bare none.

Dillon. Either the 550 or 650. Depends on the budget. Great customer service, fast shipping. Bought my son a 550 a few years back.

Dillon 550.
I only load for three calibers and I can crank out 250 to 300 rounds an hour of 9mm or .40 S&W. I can easily do 200 rounds an hour of .30 carbine.
The neat thing is I can change from loading 9mm to .40 S&W in less than 15 minutes.

Smart Wife. With all the money you save reloading you will have more to spend on her.

Dillon.
No other machine is as good, and no other company has the customer service you'll find with Dillon.

I am mechanically challenged and I highly recommend the Dillon 550.

Yep, Dillon 550B. Does rifle or pistol, any calibers but .50BMG. Easily channges between calibers by removing two pins and sliding in a different toolhead with the dies pre-installed. 300 to 400 pistol rounds per hour.
I just read the answers above. Have you noticed a trend?

Another vote for the Dillon 550B. I would also suggest getting your wife something shiny

She's a keeper!
(Dillon 650. +1 on the indexing.)
Now, what do you have to get her?
