I had one, hated it, eventually converted it to a simple turret press.

The priming system is not just bad; it's dangerous. They blow up so frequently and so violently that Lee has limits on how many primers can be put in the primer feed which pretty much defeats the purpose of a progressive press.

Forget the notion of just changing the shellplate. It's a major time consuming operation. You can change the entire assembly without too much effort, but that's much more expensive. Changing the diehead is a snap though so you can change cartridges that use the same shellholder very readily.

Lee has just come out with the much improved Classic Turret Press and what looks to be a much improved priming system. You don't need much of a crystal ball to see that an improved Pro is in the offing. I'd wait for it.
