Should you be inclined to try a Lee product for the lower cost, I would think that Lee press proponents would recommend the Load Master over the Pro 1000. The 1000 has only three die stations compared to the Load Master's five. The aluminum design of the 1000 might seem flimsy compared to the steel construction of most other brands of progressives. But many still swear by their 1000s. It may boil down to what you are willing to pay. Give the Dillons some serious thought. The 550 has four die stations and the 650 has five. One big difference is that the 550 has manual advance from station to station while the 650 uses auto advance (that can be deactivated, as I understand it, should the auto advance contribute to excessive problems).
