I bought the bench mounted RCBS system and I think it's great. Filling the primer tubes is just a little tedious but not all that objectionable.
Same here, wore out a couple or three of Lee units over the years, and am not a fan of their new style. It got so hard to seat primers with my beat up ol' paws that I started looking for other units, and a friend let me try his bench mounted RCBS- SOLD!
No issues at all , and changing tube sizes is not an issue either, I have a small pick with a very slight curve that I push into the tube to get the primers above the hole, then slide in the cross pin.

Man you do it the hard way. I fill primer tubes with the stop pin installed. Then i use that nifty tool posted above which was discontinued in 95-96.
I only bought mine a few years back, never saw that tool before. I do in fill the tubes with the pins installed of course- that would be crazy to inadvertently turn it upside down before putting it into the unit! LOL
