I don't think there is a problem with buying a progressive right out of the chute, but don't try to use it as a progressive until you have some experience. I started with a Dillon RL550. Used it as a single stage for a couple of years, then kept adding steps as I got more comfortable. Now I have a few single stage presses that I use for different steps.
