I find Lee equipment serviceable. I have a LCP on which I've probably loaded North of 30K rounds. It is the only press I own, although I never use it in turret mode. I think I still have the parts in a box, just switch between calibers too often, and tend to load single stage rather than semi-progressive. The only problem I have had with it is the "teeth" that mesh and hold the handle in position partially stripped while attempting to remove a severely stuck case from a die and needed to be chased with a file and JB welded permanently into position. The main screws that hold the "handle assembly" to the press body also back out occasionally. In general I've found their equipment to be serviceable but not always the most ergonomic. I have several of their die sets in oddball metric calibers where other options would be cost prohibitive. They work well, produce quality ammo but are a pain to adjust vs. the Redding and Hornady dies which I greatly prefer. I do like their carbide pistol dies, and simply tolerate the pain of setting up the collet decapper given the price point vs others. I've been lucky with my pistol calibers and set it correctly the first time I wrenched it down, and have found lightly scoring the rod with a file helps it hold position if I run into a stubborn crimped primer in 9mm. I like their powder measure for spherical pistol powders. I cannot get sufficient consistency with any extruded powder to not trickle, I am shopping a different Mfg. for this. I won't touch their scale, and have mixed feeling about their hand priming system. It works, but requires a lot of finesse and attention. Their ram prime system is functional but I don't like it as much as the Lyman one I lost the small primer punch for down a knothole in my floorboards. This is also on my replacement list. Basically, now that I am in a better financial situation than 12 years ago, I am gradually phasing out my Lee equipment for more user friendly options. Not that the LEE won't produce good ammo, just some of the more $$$ options are better engineered for ease of use and repeatability.
