I sit to reload. For those who have a handle from InLine is it that much different than the ball handle? Is the ergonomics of the handle worth it? Let me know your thoughts please. Thanks in advance.

Yes and Yes! Due to the design it is a shorter throw and your hand does not go down as far. I bought it when I got my LNL Tried LNL's handle and went straight to the inline.
 
Yes, it's great. It allows me to sit with my legs close to the press and the handle comes down beside me in a comfortable manner. I have a tight space to work in.
 
While I do not have the LnL press, I have the InLine Fabrication Ergo handles on both my LCT and Dillon XL650, and I can either stand or sit with them comfortably.
 
I'm pretty sure I bought the ergo. I know it wasn't the long, but it seems like they only had two models when I got mine. But I've slept since then.
 
I have the standard height roller. I think it's an upgrade to the stock handle. The angle of the handle is more parallel to the press and this minimizes the twisting of the Ram when pressure is applied to the handle, especially during upstroke (seating the primer). Also think a bit more in leverage.
 
I have the short ergo on my LNL. When I first put it on I didn't think it was that big a deal. But when I put the standard handle that came with the press back on I realized just how good this thing is.

I have found that it is helpful to put locktite on the threads by the jam nut and the toggle block because of the torque and also on the threads that hold the roller handle into the shaft.
 
I got one last year. What really sucks is it ended up costing me $160.00 with the dollar exchange and customs and duty got their slice. It works well. But if I ever get another LNL I'll be making my own.
Don't get the long one get the shorter one. I talked with Dave from Inline and recommended the standard one. Also got the light kit as well which really works good.
I've seen guys bend the original one and it seemed to be better also.
Though I really like it I notice that I can't sit to the left of the press like I could with the original and operate the handle. I have to be square with it or the linkage twists and moves the sub plate.
The short ergo is the one to get.

It looks like they have 3. Ergo, standard and short.
The 3 that Dave offers are the: Long Ergo, Short Ergo, and Standard Length Roller . The last is the same length and angle as the factory handle, but Dave added the roller handle to relieve stress on your wrist.

I have the Short Ergo and there really is "that much" difference and it is well worth the price. The roller handle reduces stress on your wrist and forearm while the geometry of the shaft reduces stress on your back and shoulder

One advantage the ball gives you is that it gives you full ergo at all positions. If you were to put a device on your wrist and hand and measure the angle as you go through the full motion it move around 45 degrees. At the bottom of the ram stroke your wrist is more parallel to you body. At the top the natural position is at a angle. So any thing fixed will put some stress on your arm/elbow/wrist/hand. All I can say at some point in life these over worked joints will complain. Just freely swing your arm up and down and watch as it naturally rotates.

It's on long runs that you will notice aces and pains. Mine is in the elbow from years of sports.
