Yet another thread seeking advice for press selection

I wonder if I should read them both...

Oh, definately!
Leave one in the bathroom!!!

I have a bookshelf full of old manuals and I still read them from time to time.

On the other hand, selling the duplicate copy of the hornady manual pays for another manual which will be unique to the library.

If you stick with reloading for the long term, I very much doubt you'll be "unloading" your single stage on Gunbroker or Ebay. Even when the time comes for a progressive, your single stage will remain very useful, and you will probably keep it and use it often. I'm starting to look at progressives myself, but after loading for a year on the single stage (Hornady LNL Classic), I have come to understand what others meant when they gave me this same advice. My single stage is here to stay, regardless of how much further I dive into this hobby.

I bet a lot of the most experienced reloaders on this board would agree with this analysis: If you buy a single stage first, you may find that you don't need a progressive for a long time. If you buy a progressive first, you will very likely find the need for a single stage in the near future.

I didn't buy it expecting to unload it, but I find it easier to spend for things that hold value than things that are worthless once they become "pre-owned"

If/when I go to a progressive, I think I'll go with the LnL AP, and make a custom shim for the classic to the dies set to the same depth as the AP, like in the video at ultimate reloader.

Oh No! Not the LnL AP, anything but the LnL Ap!!!............................. kidding...welcome to the world of reloading!
