I have had my LCT for about 6 months and 3500 rounds. Love it. I recommend giving it a good cleaning and lube when you first get it (CLP works great) and then after the first 500 or so rounds. I found that mine really seemed to smooth out after this second cleaning. I will say though that from the very first cartridge I loaded the results have been flawless. Good product.
Production-wise, I get about 125/hr making mixed loads. Because the LCT is so easy to swap from caliber to caliber I find I rarely make more than 2 boxes of anything before switching up to another caliber or load. In general though, it takes me 20 for the first box and then 15 minutes for subsequent boxes, so I can see how others get 200-225/hr. My attention wanders about the time I get to the 2nd box of anything though. Fortunately, using a 4 die setup and keeping the same FCD crimp for all of my various bullet types, changing a load is as easy as changing the auto disk and powder, backing out the seating stem, adjusting for the new seating depth per the load recipe. I am completely comfortable that my cartridges made a box here and a box there are as consistent as if I made 1000 of them at a sitting.
