I cobbled mine together out of an office chair (the pedestal) and a stool (the seat) that was being thrown away. Added some roller blade wheels and it's good.
$600 dollars is a tad on the high side ... but if you like Lexus and got plenty money ... go for it .here ya go...but they're pricy! https://www.vyperindustrial.com/
Which is why I mounted mine far right and added a brace• I read somewhere that Dillon recommended the ball on the end of the op lever be at the height of your shoulder. If you intend to stand, the bench height may need adjusting; if you are going to sit, then the stool height may need adjusting.
• I buy all my stools at Goodwill, that way I'm not afraid to get out the hand saw and modify leg lengths.
• If you are still using the standard ball end op lever on your 550, then you will get some really worthwhile relief by converting to an optional "roller style" op lever. These are made by both Dillon and Inline Fab. (Links provided)
• Also consider that if your press is located in the center of your bench, then even small amounts of benchtop movement could be exacerbating any type of joint or muscular pain. Wood is really good at hiding repeated flexure. A simple 2x2" leg, added directly beneath the press and connecting to the concrete floor can stop all that.
Hope this helps.
