I have the LNL Progressive and like it a lot, no experience with the RCBS.
I am happy with my LNL. I considered a Dillon 650 when I bought my LNL, but more $ and conversions cost more $ as well.
I sort of do the same. Quick clean on range brass to get the sand, grit etc out. Then I make a deprime/resize pass then wet tumble the seized/deprimed brass.
Then I will prime the cases with my Lee hand primer. (usually watching the tube when I prime cases and yes wear safety glasses!)
With primed cases I have
1 Powder drop
2 Lockout die
3 Bullet feeder/drop (tube type)
4 Seat
5 Crimp
This requires and extra pass and while it may not shoot any better having nice shiny brass with spotless primer pockets makes me
I use the RCBS lock out die in my LNL. I really like it. I have a Hornady Powder cop as well but you have to watch the powder cop the lockout die you don't.
7 stations would sure be nice though!
Not a deciding factor but you cna usually get 500 free bullets from Hornady with the press. (you pay shipping so not really free)
If you go that way take the most expensive bullet you shoot.
I bought the press to load 9mm at first, but took the .45 bullets because they were more $.

This allows me to prime off the press at a later time at no additional loss in time. I can hand prime 100 cases as fast or faster than filling a primer tubes.
