RCB vrs LEE dies

I have both Lee and RCBS dies. For my needs, it's 6 of one 1/2 dozen of the other. However, I will say, when using my Lee Pro 1000 I do like the Lee sizing die better due to the rubber 0-ring. The 0-ring seems to keep the die in place in the press. When I use my RCBS sizing die it tends to back out of the press.
 
You have just stated the why of the rubber o-ring. Lee's first press was the turret and the o-ring works great in a turret head. I have the Classic Turret and 10 extra turrets, so my dies are ready to go. All I have to do is pop out one turret and insert another and all the dies keep their adjustment. It can be problematic in a single stage press.
