I chose the Hornady LNL over the Dillon 650 mainly because I found a great deal on the Hornady. I don't regret the decision.

Regarding the safety of reloading on a progressive I would argue that a single stage press has many more opportunities for errors than an auto indexing progressive. With an auto indexing press you place a new case down, put a bullet down and pull the handle - the efficiency of this also reduces the chance for human error. Setting up the dies is no different - if the dies are setup incorrectly on either press the rounds will have problems.
