Snakyjake,

I've used a 2000 (non AI) for about four years now and I love the press. No issues whatsoever. I load for nine cartridges and the conversion time is much faster than with the 650 and 1050 which I cranked on for seven or eight years...hated changeovers.

I like ruggedness and simplicity. The 2000 is pretty much the standard-bearer in those categories.

I purchased the optional tube system but have not used it. The strip system works very well and is fast.

With regard to the comment on die plate wobble. Slight movement is engineered in...permits the case to index the center of each die and the powder drop tube, respectively. Tis a good thing.

There's a reason why the 2000 was selected for use by both the NRA technical staff and the USMC Pistol Team. It's a good press/system.
