Opinions on the RCBS Pro 2000...

[Durandal]

I am considering upgrading to a progressive press by the end of the year. I've been using a RCBS single-stage for the past 15 years and am looking at the Pro 2000 auto index. I would like to hear opinions from anyone here who has used one, good or bad.
RCBS claims a production rate of 500-600 per hour on the 2000. For those of you that have one, what did you find is the true production rate?

Had one, have since sold it and moved on to a Dillon. Never used the auto-index after a few attempts, was indexed by hand...one mistake and there's a big mess to clean up.
5-600 rounds per hour? Uh...no. All in all it was an ok piece of machinery, and served me well for what I wanted, but don't buy it on the advertised round per hour count. I have found the Dillon to be less challenging and more efficient.
Your mileage may vary, and I'm sure there are many other opinions out there. Good luck with your purchase, whatever you decide.
