As far as space, I built a tiny "workbench". It's 2x2' of 3/4" plywood on 18" 4x4 legs. It sits in my (indoor) (air conditioned) man cave. I bolted a rock chucker (RCBS) to it, and have no complaints. I operate it while seated in my computer chair, and find it comfortable.

I went with the more expensive kit, since I had a bonus to spend. I didn't spend $600 though! Kit was ~$250, 200 lead bullets for $10 at the gun show, had the brass, ~$40 for bench materials, $29 for powder, can't remember price on primers. My first 200 rounds reloaded cost me less than $400, for sure.

My recommendation, though, is that you add a tumbler to your list. I got tired of the by-hand cleaning approach and was blown away by the tumbler the first time I used it.
