Let's '"NOT DEBATE" and "Cut to the Chase", by going to the Lee web site and look at the MSRP for the "top of the line" Lee Load(of something)Master with everything.
Now go to the Dillon web site and look at the Dillon 550 with everything MSRP.
There is what, a $50 difference?! WOW!
Now look at the warranty: Lee "2 year warrenty" they do NOT stand behind in any meaningful way. Sure you broke a pin and they sent you two. Ummm, OK. How about the press that broke from improper casting/heat treating? Was warped from improper heat treating (according to the factory letter they sent with the junk press when they returned it to you as sent)? They DIDN'T replace it? GASP!
Now look at the Dillon warranty: LIFE TIME that they DO stand behind! You broke a camming lug on your 20 year old press that you bought used, and Dillon replaced the press, for free, with a new updated one? WOW! Bought used Dillon press went through a house fire and Dillon replaced it, for free?! WOW!
Lee actual retail is 50% (or less) of MSRP because only an idiot would buy the low quality junk at MSRP when they could buy a Dillon for the same price.
Dillon sells all they can make, retail, for MSRP.
Used Lee equipment normally sells for a tiny fraction of MSRP (or actual retail price) because most buyers know they are buying cheap junk and it will probably need to be replaced when it won't work. At retail.
Used Dillon equipment normally sells for near MSRP as the buyer knows they can easily get replacement parts, or the whole press replaced if it's defective, for FREE, forever!
There are people who can't figure out how to do a simple search function and can't find stuff, then whine about how incompetent they are? No debate there!
Well it looks like Dillon wins AGAIN in the "no debate" (there was no debate as Dillon walked off with it hands down so easily) and "cut to the chase", but Dillon was so far out in front that most people didn't even know Lee was even in the running.
WOW! 200 rds/minute on Lee Pro 1000?! Now THAT I have got to see!!
