Yes, mostly correct, with the LEE Load All, yes, it's a new press, but at $50-$60, not a big issue. MEC on the other hand sells a conversion "DIE SET" which you basically keep the main press frame and replace all the parts to change the gauge, for about half the price of a new press (still $100+ and a new press is $200-$250 for the single stage). I have seen several MEC 600 JR.s in pawn shops locally for $25-$50 for older well used ones to $100 for ones that looked to be new in the box.
