If you are really only going to load one caliber then the Square Deal is fantastic. It will come set up and ready to go.

Going from a single stage to the SD will be amazing for you.

When they first came out I bought one of the first ones in 9mm later I got a conversion for 45 ACP. Wore it out on 9mm. Sent it back and Dillon rebuilt it and I sold it to one of my customers.

Case feed is nice, I have two machines that have that. But it's not that big of a deal for your own use.

I have had fully automated machines. (5000 cycles an hour) But I sold them to a class III shooter. For range brass they didn't come close to working for me.
