2) slight different peripheral items?
It's the SAME press in both. The Challenger is the cheaper version of that design I think. The "cast" is cast iron and the Challenger...
By the cheap ass Lee do you mean some of the ones others have recommended?
Trying to get a feel for the relative strength of things, which can be hard to tell over the internet. I could probably get a rock chucker used for similar price off eBay but have to factor in unknowns and broken...
Will keep those sites and that list in mind.

I guess if the turret press only costs a bit over $110 then I can cycle it out if it breaks years down the...
While that may be the lowest point of cost entry fairly sure that would deter me from finding time to do it or would just immediately upgrade.
Leaning towards a Lee kit though just due to cost. Though to be seen if I make a move before or after I get a rifle.

Right now the only calibers I would reload for would be .38 spl or .357 mag, but looking to get a rifle down the line which would also need to work.
My initial thought was to pick one...
