Getting into reloading- Buy the best press I can afford, or start more slowly?

So I am about to take the plunge. I am a very methodical person and I tend to take things slow when starting something new. I also plan to read as much as I can in order to learn. The question is do I start with a high-end press like the Dillon 1100 because of its options, or do I aim lower. I do have tons of once-fired military brass that I have been saving to eventually do this and I know the 1100 has a built in crimp removal station. I want to make accurate and consistent ammo, however, my personal and family life give me very little time. As such, I need to be able to bang out consistent and good ammo. I am from the "buy once, cry once" camp. What do you think? Am I better off with a 750 Dillon or the 1100. I plan to reload .223, .308, 6.5 CM, and maybe 9mm. Thanks for any input.
