You can load 1 piece of brass in either of them. As a matter of fact I do so every time I set up dies. The reciprocating primer feed on the 550 is an "on demand" system the 650 will however feed a primer every time all the time, doesn't matter if there is a case or not.
I like the bearing addition on the 650 but as long as you are smooth at operating the handle they don't fling powder out.
This is one of my 650's loading 100 rounds of 9mm in under 4 min.

Less than half the time it would take on my 550.
There was an issue with the 650 that the rounds spin to fast to the next station and then stop so quickly that powder spills out. At least that's a prob when loading 9mm. Guys have reported fixing the issue by installing a different ball bearings and/or spring.
Yeah, I freak out about this, but it turns out to be an insignificant amount of powder--not detectable on my balances before and after. Still, I slow down the movement with my finger on the case anyway.

you may have a reloading addiction nice!It's one I made. Formed a 5" truss from 3/4" box tube, cross braced where the different presses mount, 18" deep with 10 ga steel top and shelf.
Electrical down the progressive side with one switch to kill power to everything except the one outlet controlled by the 2nd switch for the dentist office air compressor.
18" is pretty shallow for a free standing reloading bench, why the "wing" and lower shelf to hold all the heavy stuff.
