I started buying Lee dies ~20 years ago, after RCBS started an advertising war against Lee. I was intrigued, and had to see for myself. Well, Lee dies worked just fine! I stopped buying RCBS.

Lee FCD dies are a must for any progressive loader, by the way.

As MADISON mentioned above, Lee dies were a bit short to be used on Dillon progressives, so I had to machine my own lock rings to lock the Lee dies from below the toolhead. Another workaround was installing the set screws to lock the Lee dies from the side.
The new-gen Lee dies are longer, so no issue.
