The cost of the conversions are a big factor in my decision. I'm gonna reload for 4 or 5 different calibers at least. That's going to be a chunk with the dillon. I'm guessing 200 per caliber from what I've read.

You are looking at $50 for a basic conversion kit.
You can buy nice billet tool heads for less than $20 shipped in pairs.
I recommend a powder die for each tool head @ $13.
Then all you have to do is move the powder throw to whichever caliber you are loading. You can take measurements on your powder throw fit each caliber and return very close to where you need to be.
Used conversion show up for sale, just don’t get in a hurry. Also you might be surprised how many conversions you might be able to build.
For instance the .45 ACP shell plate is used for .308 and all of its associated cases.
