I am what most would consider a newb, so not sure my opinion counts for much, but will offer it just the same.
About 3 months back, I decided to get back into reloading after a 50 year break. Long enough I needed to assemble most of the tools and do it with modern equipment. For the press, I asked around......I participate in a few other forums that are not dedicated to shooting, but have shooters who also reload. When I asked about presses, I got the usual suspects. Rock Chuckers, Lee Classic, Hornady, etc. Not one of them mentioned the Forster. I found out about those on my own while watching youtube videos. Some pretty impressive shooters were using them. And not featured in the videos as selling tools as some do, but in the background. They were explaining other things, but when the press came into view, it was a Forster.
Over the years, I have become one who prefers to buy quality tools and I have developed a bias against cheap junk. In my mind, that is where I placed the Lee press. Couldn't possibly be any good at that price level compared to everything else. The Forster on the other hand, top of the line.
But by chance, I was offered a nice used Lee Classic press......like new for half the price.....so figuring it was better than nothing, I took it, planning to upgrade first chance I got. That may be never.
Once I figured out how the Lee Breech lock system works, and actually put it to work loading a variety of calibers, not sure I will be needing anything more. BTW, the breech lock system makes swapping out dies a very simple process. Not as fast as the Forster, but fast enough. And have had no problems at all with it being too light for the task. At least so far. Am now only loading for 3 calibers, possibly going to 5. Swapping out dies is no problem. Quick and easy.
As for the Forster design, there are others that are similar, but do not have the quick swap feature. The old CH, new CH4D is one. BTW, the original Forster was actually Bonanza. All are showing up used on ebay now and then. The old CH presses going for around $200, but no quick change feature with those.
Listed prices for new a new Forster press from the usual suspects, like Midway, MidSouth, etc, are in the ballpark of $350, but nobody actually has one for those prices. Same press on Forster's site is over $500, but not available there either. Prices for new presses on ebay have slumped from nearly $700 three months ago to buy it now offers as low as $475 today. So not that far off from back to normal.
I may still get one someday, but for now, am content to stick with the Lee.
