Best Turret Press for money??

I currently have 2 turret presses on my bench. A Lyman t mag and a Lee classic cast turret press.
I've had the Lee press for several years and have loaded about 10,000 rifle rounds on it. It works well and is as tight as the day I got it. More often then not I have the indexing rod out and use it as a single stage and index it by hand. I really like the primer tube that collects the decapped primers. It's a great press and I'd buy it all over again.
My other turret is a lyman t mag, it's a beast of a press and is super stiff. I really like it but I wouldn't say it's any better or worse then my Lee. I like it's stiffness and the fact that it has room.for 6 dies which means I can have 3 calibers set up at one time.
Comparing both I'd say the Lee is faster to run, has cheaper spare turrets and a better primer collection system.
The lyman has more leverage so sizing large cases is easier. The lyman holds more dies but spare turrets are 3x the price of the Lee turrets.
I like both and run both but I prefer the Lee for the above mentioned reasons.
