"Reputation matters to me. At times, you have very little else to go on, as this thread demonstrates.
Lee has a bad reputation, others have much better reputations."
That doesn't make much sense.
What would you rather go on... generic "reputation" on the web that someone's uncle's brother's dog's father's sister's son's nephew's friend's acquaintance once chipped a fingernail on a Lee die, so they're the crappiest crap that has ever been crapped?
Or out and out first hand testimony from a dozen or more people who have used Lee products for years, can testify to their utility, usability, durability, and suitability for reloading ammunition?
If you're going to go with the "well, I heard on the internet that...", I hear that Wikipedia has high-paying jobs open as entry editors...
