This topic was kicked around a little here within the past couple of weeks. I do not have a Hornady L-n-L but I was in the market for a progressive press and read as much as I could about the L-n-L, Dillon (550), and RCBS Pro 2000.  I don't think that you can go wrong with any of them - however you will get strong opinions from those who own each brand.  For me, when you consider the bullet deal that comes with the press it makes the Hornady pretty attractively priced.  The problem that I have is that Lee dies are not long enough to tighten down in the L-n-L because of the thickness of the frame.  The powder measure on the Hornady is superior to the Dillon in ease of adjustment.  Most who own the L-n-L are pretty happy with their machines.  Other features are the ability to add a bullet feeder and case feeder as options to the L-n-L.  UltimateReloader.com has some video of the unit in use - in fact, there are other presses shown in detail on the same site.  Also, check out YouTube videos as well.
