I love them especially on the smaller rounds, no more pinched fingers between the press and seater die....As for slower then regular dies..never noticed any lose in time once you figure out how to use them.
Most people make the mistake of taking the seater stem out of the die then dropping a bullet in, then the seater stem...not the way to use the die...
Back to your question the arbour press works fine, not as big of a mechanical advantage like a conventional press but the "feel" when seating a bullet is much more sensitive..also Like DLab said you can load and seat bullets with a rubber mallet if you have too......
I like them..but still keep my 35 year old Rockchucker on the bench for most jobs where precision is not the key factor.
