I was pretty much in the same boat. Although its only been 20 years with the Reloader 2 Special for me.
Last year I bough a semi auto pistol so wanted to load lots of rounds with it.

I bought the Lee Classic Turret press and can now easily produce 100+ rounds in an hour. Although I enjoy every aspect of reloading my own ammo and am not pushed for speed, the turret press has proven to be a time saver.

Crank the handle=size, deprime and prime the case
Crank the handle=flare the case and add powder
Crank the handle=seat the bullet
Crank the handle=crimp the case
Done

Lots of video's on you tube showing presses being used. Check them out and they may help you decide if a turret press is worthwhile for you.
Personally I'm glad I've got mine.
