It depends on what you want to do. If you are loading for accuracy, I would say get a good single stage, measure, scale and dies. Bargains can still be had online.

I had one of the older Lee 3-hole turret presses. There was too much play in the turret for my liking. Seating depths always seemed to drift around. The auto-disk measure was great for throwing charges but actual charge weights varied too much for precision rifle ammo. If you're just plinking then it won't matter.
