looks interesting for a 4 station progressive press, sure it's not a Dillon but at MSRP $150.00 USD ...

Modular construction allows as much or as little automation as the operator desires with no adjustments.
Cartridge changeover in seconds, including primer size with no adjustments.
Breech Lock quick change feature in all four positions with no adjustments.
Exclusive auto case placer with no adjustments.
Through ram primer disposal with convenient built-in primer disposal tube.
Includes four breech lock bushings.

Includes hex wrenches for caliber changes with built in storage rack for tools. Others charge nearly $30.00 for the tools and storage rack alone!
User has to make initial die adjustment into the Breech Lock bushings. Once set, the Breech Lock system allows for instant change.

Very interesting. I'll be keeping an eye on this. If it reviews well, I could see one of these ending up on my shelf for 9mm/223 reloading in bulk...

Very interested but need to see it in action.
Question at the moment;
How does the priming system work?
Does the Pro1000 case feeder work on it?

Sure we will need to see it in action ...
looks like it will be using the regular manually operated Lee Safety Prime
however priming on the down stroke would be a plus
the universal case feeder is also one of the accessories that will be compatible

Hm, it uses the safety prime. The pro1000 priming system is very nice, one of the best features imo. This will be a bit slower than the pro 1000 but that 4th position is damn tempting. The safety prime is very safe though, if you set one off there's almost no chance of a chain detonation as the primers feed one at a time and they're completely isolated from the pez dispenser arm. I have a feeling they did this to save costs on manufacturing

I'd bet this will replace their Pro 1000 press.

doubt it, they recently changed the pro1k base so you don't have to unbolt the press or drill a hole in your bench to empty primers. At least that's what was in the flyer with my new classic cast press.
 
I just watch a bunch of videos on this one...
Definitely some pros but definitely some cons.
At this point I don’t see what it can replace (of mine).
With a better priming system (automated) maybe.
I do like where it primes though.
Not real sold on all the plastic but I’ve burned out aluminum carriers on the 1000 in the case feeder slide area so maybe plastic on plastic is the way to go.
Indexing looks good.
