Single stage press

In between moving places I'll be at an apartment for a couple months. I don't have much room to bring a bench or take my bigger equipment with me, so I have been prepping a lot of my my brass ahead of time(sizing,case prep. The part I'll be left with is powder and seating rifle brass with a Redding competition die. I got a stand i made for holding a single stage press.
My question is for under $100 what single stage would you recommend for use, I don't want something completely junk though where I'll get bad results.
 
Sometimes you can get a second from Lee Precision in their Cast Iron press. There's nothing wrong with at press.

The RCBS Partner will serve you well. Any bad results, will come from BAD Dies! A precision made Die is the key to good results.

Jackie Schmidt shot some fantastic 5-shot groups with very shaky Partner presses and excellent dies: http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2010/07/triumph-in-texas-jackie-schmidt-shoots-0-1118-5-target-agg-at-100-yards-with-30-br-best-in-history [Although the world record agg was not recognized by the NBRSA, the 5-shot groups were extremely small]. :)
 
A little more than your budget, but It's what I would buy. http://bullets.com/products/Rock-Chucker-Supreme-Press/BL1663
 
Lee Classic is a beast and works great for me. The ram is huge and the primer catcher is a nice touch as well.
