Do I need 2 single stage presses

I recently purchased a Forster Co-ax press and was curious if it is worth keeping my Hornady Classic single stage press (it has primer setup and is like new). I have a Hornady Lock-N-Load progressive for my semi-auto pistol and rifle loads, the single was for my competition F-Class loading.
Opinions appreciated!
 
I personaly have 7 single stage presses set up. 1 is a Hollywood 9 hole turret press.
I dont like to change dies. If you have room I would keep it!

keep it no matter what.for me just useing my little old lee press to just punch out primers is a great tool.this way I can feel all that the dies are doing to the brass when sizeing.and works best when I neck size with the lee collet die.

or you can look at it this way.better to have it packed up than haveing to buy another one when you think haveing two is a great idea.but hey just an opinion so take it with a grain of salt if you want to.
 
I've only got the one, but if I had a little more room for a bit bigger bench
I'd add another in a heartbeat, sure would beat the musical chairs I play with my dies! :D
 
Best option would be 2 co-ax presses, one each for large & small base plate assemblies. That plus a ton of forster collars would do the trick.

I keep a LNL AP by my co-ax but it never gets used.
 
I keep 2 single stages beside each other for sizing and seating. You can bet I will soon have a die that accepts collets or collars...
