RCBS turret press? Is it good?

A buddy of mine has an RCBS and hasn't had any issues. Turret presses are a bit more lube sensitive than single stage presses, keep the turrets lubed or they can wear prematurely.

Midway has 70 user reviews here (click on "reviews" under the picture of the press) http://www.midwayusa.com/product/264187/rcbs-turret-press
Canadians can't order from Midway but they can be a good source for user reviews.
 
I have one and honestly it works amazing and it's so fastrue to change calibers.

If you can get past the fact that it's not blue it's an amazing machine.
 
I have a Dillon 550, and was doing rifle rounds on a single stage RCBS. I recently bought a RCBS turret press, and I am very happy with it. No more adjusting dies... it can work just like the single stage, but I dont have to remove a die and put in the next. I have 2 different calibers in one Turret. My issue is tracking down a second turret head to add another caliber. Seems like Canadian sources of spare parts hasnt been easy as of yet.
I should have got this press long ago.
It is far slower than my Dillon, but thats not what I got it for. It is way faster than a single stage, and that was my reasoning behind getting it.
It suites my needs perfectly.
Pistol and semi auto rifle was done on the Dillon, but my hunting/target rifle gets done on the RCBS Turret. I dont have the powder hopper on top.. I resize, prime.. then charge all cases on another table, then bring them back to be completed on the turret.
