Lee still maintains that dirty brass helps "lube" the cases into the dies.
I disagree, but some don't.

My method exactly, same presses. Lee classic Turret, and Lee Classic Breech lock with de-capper die for de capping. I wanted the extra single stage press for other reasons, but it is easy to remove the rod and install the de capper in the LCT press.I sometimes decap brass before cleaning and I use a Classic Turret press with a universal decapping die. One hint, remove the auto-index rod so you don't have to worry about advancing the turret.
IMO there is no reason to buy another press for decapping alone. (unless you want a second press) Why add the expense since you already own a good press. BTW, you mentioned buying a die and shellholder above. Why buy another shellholder since you already have one?
