I have four or five sets of the old style, none of the new. The decap/expand rod is (or was) the only weak part of the system, in my opinion. I really like the elliptical expander, and the seating die is good, also.
I eventually took the expander rod and gave it a couple of good squeezes in my bench vise, enough to imprint dimples in the rod. It held MUCH better after that.
