+1 unless you have someone to show you how to use the progressive press. Don't worry with a hand press you will still make plenty of mistakes.

If you decide to go with a single stage press a tool table is a good way to mount the press in an apartment:

or you could build something similar with 2x4s and plywood to save some money.

Good luck
