I would have to ask you, What calibers you plan to reload? How many rounds do you shoot in any given period of time? Progressive presses are really for folks who need to load a lot of ammo. If you are unsure whether or not you want to reload, then get a single stage press and kit. The only drawback to reloading (assuming that you are a patient and meticulous individual) is the (hopefully temporary) difficulty in finding reloading components.
