Single stage presses work just fine, but you'll quickly grow tired of them, I have a lyman and a lee multi stage press.
My RCBS single stage sits around and collects dust.
Besides, you can use the Lee turret press, as a single stage anyway, by just taking the rod out of the center.
I don't think it's that hard to learn for a noob, that he'd HAVE To buy a single stage press first.
here's my setup, from left to right, RCBS Rock Chuker, Lyman 5 Stage, Lee turret press, and my Lyman bullet sizer.
