On my reloading bench with the presses I have it lag bolted to the garage wall studs to minimize bench movement and vibration while loading. Do you have your indoor reloading area bench similarly bolted or is this a non-issue for you?
Another thing is I've drilled my reloading bench worktop and directly mounted my presses to it. Moving forward think I'll mount the presses to plywood then clamp the plywood to the bench surface so I can switch presses on an off without a proliferating pattern of holes weakening the bench top which is laminated butcher block.

This is an old heavy L shaped office desk. I do not have the measurements but I want to say 1.5" thick? Plus the frame for the drawer just to the left make for a very stiff deck. I drilled thru and use bolt, nut and washers thru the desktop so it is not threads holding in wood. It has proved to be very solid. and if I need to I can take the press down in short order and put it in the closet. Though I have not done that since upgrading to the case feeder. LOVE that case feeder, and added bullet feeders for 9mm and 45acp in the last few months...
In terms of being able to move/swap presses, Inline makes some quick mount type plates that will probably do what you are thinking about and they would be lot stiffer than plywood...
That's huge. I suspect it's bigger than my first college apartment.
