What to get first...neck turning lathe or Hydro press?

Bench rest shooters purchase presses for individual dies in the loading process. Once set up to an individual gun the setting never changes.

I have been loading with a standard arbor press. A friend of mine let me borrow a hydro press (21st century) and I didnt like feel of the hydro. I have gotten used to "feeling" the difference in seating pressure. Using the hydro eliminates that, and makes it hard to tell when bullet travel has stopped. I know plenty of the top guys swear by them, but they just arent for me. I dont feel any disadvantage doing it by feel. Thats just my personal opinion, your mileage may vary.

I like the 21st century lathe, it made sense when I first looked at it, they put a lot of thought into it. I dare say playing with the hydro press could be fun though. Except I need an annealer worse than that though.
