Very interesting

I think I would need this press to go with those dies.

you cant beat a set of dies made off your chamber and sizing reamer, then you know everything is going to be perfect.

Very bling but the price.

While it is no doubt precise it's unlikely to be THAT more precise than some cheaper presses.

I have sent a message to the website asking for a price for the die. I'm hoping that with the company being in South Africa, the exchange rate should hopefully not make it too expensive.

Just get a bushing bump die made by the smith that chambered your rifle.

These dies would be great, IF, and only IF, your brass has uniform wall thickness. In my early days shooting LRBR, I used to FLS every reload. Funny thing stated to happen, the cases started to bend. Why? The difference in the wall thickness of the brass.
JR confirmed this as the cause, after he measured some with his toys.

Conclusion? Any die that FLS, or body die, will cause this to happen, to a greater or lesser extent. Save your money, use a cheaper die, lower pressures, and buy new brass more often, you will get much better concentricity, and a whole lot less frustration.
