I'm not an expert so you can take my advise for what it cost you. With shooting, golfing, or just about any other precision task, confidence is at least as important to outcome as the equipment involved. So if you like the feel, looks, and operation, of the equipment it leads to more confidence. Repeated results also add to the confidence level that can be achieved with a particular set of service equipment. If your press, rifle, clubs, racquet, etc. feel good to you and yield repeatable results, your brain translates that to confidence and allows you to perform "in the zone". The value of the Co-AX, Redding, Lee, Dillion, press is to a great extent subjective, just like pistol grip vs thumbhole stock.
I have Lee presses and with due caution and attention to detail I can produce excellent ammo. The Forster Co-AX just lets me do it more effortlessly and with greater confidence since the "feel" of the press's operation is much smoother. Again, just my opinion.
