Obviously the price of the turret is more attractive than a progressive. I have done all my reloading on a turret (sometimes still using it as a single stage) and I can't complain. Changing calibers is ridiculously easy, the additional turrets only cost around $10, and leave all of your dies set up and ready to go. I can switch calibers in just a couple minutes. This could be reduced to seconds if I kept multiple powder measures.
There is absolutely no doubt that a progressive will be faster, but a turret is fast enough for a lot of people, and a fine press. The four strokes are not all that bad and you rapidly develop a rhythm, breaching for new bullets and brass, which is not a lot slower than a progressive might be (without a shell feeder.) It also requires a little less force because you are performing one operation per stroke. Now if you have a physical limitation which makes the repetition hard or painful, then the progressive obviously shines.
I would recommend the
Lee Classic Turret Press over the Value Turret Press, although it looks like the Value has a
2018 upgrade which might handle the spent primers better. That being the case I'm not sure which one I'd recommend. They are capable of very consistent ammo. The design, while "budget friendly," is not going to flex.
As far as an upgraded powder measure - the Lee requires a
riser which is not expensive. It's just to get the measure up out of the way.
