Why no 4 hole Lee Pro1000

I've been using my Lee Turret press now for almost two years now and really enjoy it and was recently offered a used Pro1000 for a very good price,something to hold me over until I get a 550 or LNL. The one thing holding me back is I like using the crimp die and was wondering why Lee doesn't make a four station Pro1000 to utilize it. I sent them an email and they say they have no plans for one either. Is there something to it that I'm missing that wouldn't allow for a 4th station?

No, except they sell two other 4-station progressive presses (the Loadmaster, and the progressive turret press). They probably don't want to re-engineer the whole thing and then steal sales from their other presses.

The Lee Loadmaster is a 5 hole press and yes it's a progressive.
