XL650 w/casefeeder mounting depth on the bench?

So I am about to replace my 550 with a 650, and I would like to confirm it will fit on my bench as it currently stands. My concern is that the casefeeder may extend too far back and hit the wall, causing me to have to mount it diagonally, or somehow lengthen the bench. I have this bolted into the wall as you can see, and it has worked great with my 550, so I hope I can stick a 650 on there.

I am in a condo, and my bench (facing the press) hits the wall exactly 20 7/8th inches from the edge.

Here is a picture of my setup, with my soon to be replaced 550.

Will a 650 w/casefeeder fit? Is just under 21 inches enough depth? Its tough to tell from pictures online. I am good to go with height above the bench, just not sure about depth from edge to the wall.

I went and measured my 650.
It seems that the case feeder sticks back from the front edge of the press frame about 11"
Now my bench is at 51" tall so I don’t run one of the strong mounts.
A strong mount seems to move it another cop,e inches back.
I think you are fine with 20" of bench depth.

You will be fine… my bench is 20 inch and has plenty of clearance.
