I might be late to the party on this, but I recently bought a Lee bench priming tool. This is the one of the best tools that I added to my handloading equipment. Like everything I've bought from Lee, it is well thought out and priced right. $38 from Midway

I have had good luck with Lee products. I think they make good basic tools. I have 3 or 4 sets of the 4-Die Ultimate Rifle Dies and I have had good luck with them . I'm not crazy about the Full Length Resizing Die but they do work and produce straight ammo. I'm also not crazy about the Lock Rings and I replace them with Hornaday.
I have a couple of their hand priming tools and they work very well.

I just bought one of their primer pocket Swaging dies and I haven't got it working the way I want yet but I think i know what to do.

I am sure their presses are fine but the levers don't look very robust so I haven't tried one. I have an older Rock Chucker ,RCBS Jr, RCBS A2, the small Redding boss, and a T7.
 
I like the idea of a bench mounted press but haven't the room to set up four. I use Lee hand priming tools, each set up with a different primer, 7 1/2, 450, LR, SR. I can grab what I need and prime no changing hoppers or shell holders.
