It looks nice, but at that price and without the lifetime warranty, I think I'd buy 3 of the Harbor Freight units to give myself a little flexibility and a little more total capacity. I know, the Harbor Freight units aren't going to be considered top of the line, but I can't tell the difference between it and an Lyman unit I used to have.
I have a Dillon FL-2000 the one prior to the 2001 model anbd I love it. I load comercially and i find it much easier to work with due to its large bowl.

I have a Hornady M-2 and a Lyman Pro 2500. The Lyman holds a huge amount of brass but is not quite as well constructed. The Hornady is well constructed. In 2011 I sold well over 250,000 pieces of brass and they were all polished in those two vibrating cleaners. They ran 24 hours a day, for months at a time. Both are still fine. The Hornady is fine for 300-500 pieces at a time. Both will do the job. good luck
I too had the 2000 and it failed........Dillon would NOT stand behind it.......
have a 550 and a 650..............loved the 650........but..... i have a 4 digit customer number.....when Mike ran it I never had a warranty questioned.....
Since the son took over forget it.......soured me so bad I buy LEE now
I had a FL2000 for around 15 years=10's of K of brass..The motor went out last winter. Replaced with a CV2001 last Jan.--Motor went out last month-Dillon sent me a FREE motor assembly. The CV2001 motors are under warranty for ONE year...Bill.
I have an old Dillon tumbler that's over 15 years old and still going. It gets a lot of use! I think all electronics from Dillon only have a 1 year warrantee.
If I had to buy a new one tomorrow it would be another Dillon.
