to minimize fuss each cartridge needed a dedicated powder measure in addition to the dies, die holder and shellholder plate. Few shooters can justify that expense. When I was using it and it was running right it was a fantastic piece of equipment, still is.

That's the thing with the LCT--the expense to have a dedicated setup for each caliber is minimal. $12 for a turret, and $30-$40 for a deidcated powder measure (autodisk or autodisk pro) that you can keep pre-set for that caliber,and keep attached to the dies.
So given dies (which you need for any press) the incremental cost to have a ready-to-go setup for each caliber is $42-$50.
With that setup, the LCT is really productive for small batches of multiple calibers. I believe that you could load 50 each of 4 different calibers faster on the LCT than any other setup. Swap turret, add powder (change primer from small to large if necessary) and start pulling the handle.
