First experience with a Star was 1965 with my fathers. Now have two that are my own. I shoot mostly competition pistol and load .38, .45, and 9mm on my Stars. Purchased a Dillon 550B for loading .223, 30-06, 308, that I shoot. Single stage for various other little shooting calibers. (45lc, .380, 308, 8mm, 7mm,)I find the Quality and reliability of the Star still unsurpassed.
As noted by Star73, the Dillons are good, but they are a mass produced machine and this is obvious in the materials and designs. Both are good, only I think the Star is better.
It would be great if someone started Star production again. However, I am not sure if that would be a practical endeavor. The quality Star standards would most likely raise the price to such a point that sales would be impacted.
Good luck.
