I can definitely see getting a separate crimp die for use in a progressive press, a second seating die of one prefers that to the FCD. FWIW, in 9mm I've only ever loaded jacketed and plated and only on a single-stage. I have my 9mm seating die set up to taper crimp a little but only err on the side of not enough. When it's not enough, I run the batch through the Lee FCD. I don't think I've ever felt the sizing ring on the Lee FCD make contact with the case with 9mm loads. In 45 ACP, I believe it only contacts the flare, if that, as it goes in before it's crimped. Maybe this is only because I'm not loading cast bullets. Anyway, I couldn't say this for revolver calibers. With revolver calibers the Lee FCD (roll crimp) sizing ring often contacts the case. It seems to depend mostly on the brass make. With Federal it's a rarity that it makes contact. With GFL it's every round.
