I would go with the 550 if you are planning on doing a great deal of shooting.
Yes you will spend more, but you get Dillons lifetime warranty and your investment will hold its value if you decide to sell. I purchased one the first year of introduction and it still is reliable & thru many reloads, I have paid for mine many times over

I would not recommend the lee to a beginner, it is problematic and requires frequent adjusting and maintenance when compared to the 550.
