For me it would depend on how much I reload and how much money I want to invest (lose) when I sell my reloading gear. I quit reloading for trap about 6 years ago and had 2 MEC progressives just collecting dust. I put up a note on the cork board at the range (500 plus members) and about a year later I got a call on one of them. Sold it for about 30% of the cost new. That's about what anyone can expect to sell a reloading press for. Dillon maybe 50%.
If you shoot a lot and want a good press I don't see any reason not to buy one. People drive Cadillac's and I would own one if I drove 25K a year on long road trips. Nothing like a nice ride when you spend your life on the road. Reloading same deal. Make it easy on yourself.
I'm still loading on a single stage press but I drive a 60K pickup because I tow and I might be 6 hours on the road. It all depends.
