That's a good deal to buy local and have local support and be able to support your local gunshop. I'd go for it.

Do you have to tinker with the 650 case feeder very much? That is the biggest cause for any stoppages on my LNL by far
If you do not have the additional powder measure on each toolhead, the change over of the powder measure (remove, dump powder, reinstall, adjust, fiddle, measure, final tweak) takes 1/2 to 3/4 hrs on the 550 and I'll bet longer on the 650 because of the self indexing to contend with.
I have a 550B with 1 (one) powder dispensor, and honest to God, it doesn't take that long to change the caliber, powder, and primer feed all together (like to go from 9mm to 45acp). That's about how long it takes me to setup a new caliber from scratch. I don't have any special tools, micrometer adjustments, etc. I wish I did. But setting the powder measure should only take 7 tries from totally out to completely correct (there's a scientific theory and method for that), figure 10 tries to nail it.Shoney said:If you do not have the additional powder measure on each toolhead, the change over of the powder measure (remove, dump powder, reinstall, adjust, fiddle, measure, final tweak) takes 1/2 to 3/4 hrs on the 550 and I'll bet longer on the 650 because of the self indexing to contend with.
