Taking the plunge into reloading, looking for equipment advice

I use a Hornady single stage I bought a year ago, I bought a Lee classic turret 3 weeks ago and sold it to a buddy and bought a Loadmaster (I can't afford Dillon or an AP yet)...and set that up for .40. I've loaded all my bullets actually... Anyway, the 200 bullets I loaded on that Classic Turret made me want it back... Of course that wasn't happening as my buddy loves the damn thing now since its basically mothballed his Rockchucker..... So I got the wife to pick me up another on today in Saskatoon. As well, since I knew I was getting another, my 4 spare turrets showed up today. Henry had just put them up a couple weeks ago and it still says he has em. Of all the Lee parts to find the turrets are hardest I find....
Anyway, to the guys who don't like Lee, I would say the following your hobby has is largely because of Lee and the prices on the equipment. There would be far less reloaders if not for Mr. Lee. And once the shell is complete, I'll put any of my bullets up against any other machines. But mine cost a whack load less, as often guys don't factor equipment price into their bullets.
Well I picked up some H414 and RL-15 powder and Federal 210 primers from Jo Brook's on the weekend, as well as an RCBS 502 scale and some 165 gr SST bullets. Ordered a 2L Hornady sonic cleaner and some 150 gr SST's this evening and also placed an order with Budget Shooter Supply for dies and extra turrets. I think I'm going to go with the Redding 1400 case trimmer, which I'll have to order from WSS sometime this week unless I can find someone else who sells it. Should be pretty much ready to rock when that stuff arrives, so until then I play the waiting game.
