Lee replacement parts are not all that expensive. I had a Lee "C" press (I guess it's called "the reloader" now), originally purchased for sizing, then went and installed an RCBS primer pocket swager. After a few thousand rounds swaged, I noticed I had cracked the main casting. A phone call to Lee and I think it was about $15 and I got a new one. (I don't use the new one for swaging, though).

Right now I have the Lee Reloader as well as a Lee Classic (edit: nope, it's an old "Challenger") and a couple of Dillons. I like them all for different reasons. Don't know anything about any other presses, so won't badmouth them either.
