Personally I have never had the need for a progressive as I have no need to load several hundred or more of the same load and caliber. I load small batches (100 or so) of multiple calibers , and more rifle than pistol which negates the need for a progressive even more.
I will admit about 10 years ago I was looking into a turret style press to augment my Rock Chucker but about this time a Bonanza Co Ax came my way (free gratis) and its advantages of the quick change die system and the universal shell holder really sped things up. That along with some other minor reloading accessory additions (hand primer for one) has really improved my reloading procedures.
Another thing I started doing was pre prepping brass in large quantities as a separate procedure so I keep it on hand for primer, powder & bullet when I am ready.
