Looking at these two presses, which would be the more reliable, and easiest to work on. I don't mind pulling a lever and while I'm not new to reloading, I am new to reloading for shotgun. Thanks
Dillon sl900 or mec 9000e

I always see people bagging on the Dillon press. I own one have loaded thousands upon thousands of shells on it. Learning curve is not that steep. Making changes to the load is simple, and producing a hundred shells in 6 minutes is a real thing. Customer support is fantastic. The only parts I have ever changed are the wad cup arm spring and wad guides. Call Dillon and they are in the mail that day. Wouldn't trade my Dillon for any other press. Just don't see a reason.

I have used a Pacific 366 and now Hornady 366 since 1981. Hornady helped me rebuild the Pacific. Over 200,000 reloads based on my powder, shoot primer, wads purchased. I keep good, records. I had a Mec in the late seventies.Good press but I like the Pacific better. To each their own. If you load good quality shells it doesn't to matter what press you use. Be safe and shoot as much as you can. I couldn't to afford to replace my press at today's costs.
If your shooting a higher volume I would go with the 9000e for sure. I just upgraded my 9000gn with an automate, and I wouldn't want to go back to a manual press for my trap loads.
