There are different ways of looking at what makes a turret press specifically useful:

--ability to do different things to the same piece of brass while handling the brass only once

--ability for LIGHTNING fast caliber swaps

IMO, the second point is the true genius in a turret press and only the Lee turret presses have that ability. The first point is far down the list, as I see it. As a "poor man's progressive", a turret press fails to deliver and always will because it lacks the key ingredient of a progressive -- a shell plate. If you don't have a shell plate, every thing you do will always require a pull of the press handle and only one piece of brass will be addressed.

For these reasons, I beleive that any Lee brand turret press is a wonderful upgrade to a single stage. But as a substitute for a progressive, no turret press will do.

Between the two listed choices, I would prefer the Lee Classic Turret press.
