Any advice on who makes the best most reliable progressive reloading press?
I'm looking to buy a progressive reloading press for my .45 and 9mm shooting. I can read the customer reviews on Midway and Brownells, but people are more likely to post a review only when they've had a bad experience. If something works for you, you don't often go out and show it to the world (unless paid to do so).
I like the Lee for the budget, but I know Lee parts aren't always durable (I have a Lee turret right now). Hornady seems good, or RCBS. I hear only good things about Dillon.
Who here has experience in this area? Thanks!

Ameriherron: My father is the knowledgeable one on the subject, but from what I can see, the Dillon Precision catalog is one of the most commonly-appearing works in the sea of paper that is his firearm literature. All of his equipment is Dillon, and he believes you should buy things right the first time.
Plus, Dillon instruments are Ricochet Blue.
Steve Gigl: I know next to nothing about guns (working on it!) and less about reloading, but I do know someone who blogged about his search for and subsequent experience with a reloading press (I think he went with a Hornady). Google "reloading site:toolsofrenewal.com."
