Don't throw out the Lee scale. It does work, and it's very accurate provided you're patient enough to spend the time trying to read the 1/10th of the grain lines. I'm not that patient though, so I eventually bought a RCBS Range Master 750 digital scale and use the Lee to double check after calibrating the 750 every so often, and as a backup if ever required.
As far as press or kit choice, it really depends on if you plan on reloading something else and the volume you plan to do. The Lee Classic Turret is cool because you can use it as a single stage as well as an auto-indexing turret. If you do multiple calibers, it's great because you can change out all our dies at once without having to reset anything. You just get a new turret for each caliber, and set up your dies once in each.
But it's hard to offer suggestions without knowing if you'll be doing multiple calibers, the volume of reloading you might end up doing in the future, as well as your budget. Agree that ABCs of Reloading is a good reloading book with a lot of good general information even though a bit Lee-centric.
