As the old joke goes, I’m CDO…that’s like OCD but in alphabetical order.Welcome to THR.
It's a fun hobby, especially if you are the "OCD" type who sweats the details.
And if you are the type, to reduce/eliminate reloading variables we have even gone to the deep end to resolve different length/cut angles of Varget to weigh the difference and more recently to resolve Promo flakes with Creedmoor Sports digital scale after taking apart analytical/lab digital scales to address zero drift.
I think you came to the right place.

Good luck OP and soon you’ll be buying another press, then another, then…

You know Lee Precision is releasing their new 6 station progressive press this summer?
I have a feeling it's going to be a game changer for reloading world wide - https://leeprecision.com/pro-6000-six-pack-reloading-press/

Just 15? Presses are like Lays potato chips, you can't stop at just 1.

Every hand loader need a Suppressor, just imagine the quantity SubSonic ammo we can make. Got your Chrono, got your load data! give me hush hush tingles

15 presses I had included Dillon 650 with case feeder and 550C.
When I had to liquidate over 90% of my shooting/reloading stuff to medically/physically support my aging parents in another state, only presses I ended up keeping were Dillon 550C and Lee ABLP/Pro 4000.
Thankfully, wife and I didn't have to sell our house/move and now I am restocking my shooting/reloading stuff again for retirement (BTW, my Lee ABLP got PIF to my sister/BIL) as new in box Pro 1000 PIF came back. I am adding Savage B22 Precision/Winchester Wildcat to expand my ongoing 40,000+ round 22LR ammunition testing (One of my many life-long retirement projects) along with scope comparison testing - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...a-while-recommendations.908019/#post-12351937
I thought about buying Dillon 750 and even considered the 10 station Frankford Arsenal press but it is still non-existent "in the wild/field" - https://www.frankfordarsenal.com/re...ogressive-press-with-case-feeder/1178469.html
So with the new Lee Pro 6000/Six Pack press, it was no brainer as 550C will be used for precision rifle load testing and Pro 1000/6000 will be used for high volume pistol loads with all three being used for various myth busting threads. (There are many pending one of which is neck tension/bullet setback based on resized case length variance but my unexpected trip to Texas delayed the myth busting thread) - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...ngth-and-accuracy.901574/page-2#post-12208272
