The hand press isn't really any faster than the Classic, the main benefit is that it's quieter as you aren't using a hammer. The secondary benefit is that you can use regular dies, which enables you to do things like full length sizing or bullet pulling.
The Lee breech lock (the blue thing on the hand press) makes changing dies take less than 5 seconds.
If you're comfortable with the Classic and haven't blown yourself up yet, then the hand press is a fine upgrade. I also recommend the Frankford Arsenal tool for punching out primers.
