Which Reloading Kit: RCBS Rock Chucker Kit or Hornady Classic Reading Kit

I can't really recommend, as I'm new to it, but I just got the RCBS Rockchucker Supreme Master Reloading Kit from Prophet River. They have it on sale, and there is a mail in rebate.

Hoping to get into reloading at some point here.
What are your thoughts on which kit I should go with and why?
I am planning on purchasing an electric powder dispenser also.

Go with whatever is cheaper...the kits are very similar. In terms of powder dispensers, the Chargemaster is hard to beat.

Wolverine has a great price on that kit now.

I purchased one a month or so ago, just got notice that my rebate is being processed. (Almost $100 rebate with our dollar what it is)
 
The RCBS kit is well regarded around my area. I recently found a great deal on the Supreme kit at Cabelas in Grand Forks ND for $277.17US on sale. I also bought a couple of dies and other accessories to qualify for the $75.00 rebate available from RCBS. It was too good to pass up. I also get a sales tax rebate as a Manitoban.
 
I bought an RCBS kit about 13 years ago now for no better reason than that is what brand my grandfather used. It has served me well and I feel it was money well spent.
 
It's always more economical to buy the gear you're eventually going to end up with anyway. That's why I always recommend that new handloaders invest in the RCBS master reloading kit. The RockChucker/RockChucker Supreme is one of the best single stage presses on the market. RCBS tools and kit continue to be industry standards in terms of quality and robustness, but more importantly, RCBS stands behind their product, No Questions Asked. I've lost count of the used and abused RCBS presses, dies and lubers purchased at flea markets and yard sales that a single call to RCBS for replacement parts has put back into as new working condition. And at no cost to me. In cases where the die, for example, had been too badly misused by the previous owner, they sent me a new one, asking only that I throw the old one away or destroy it. Dillon has almost as good a warranty as RCBS, if you eventually are in the market for a progressive press.
