Help me decide on what trimmer to go with.

Processing large amounts of 223, 308, and 300 blackout on an 1050 with a Mark 7.

For 223 & 308 I currently have a Dillon 1200 and plan to continue to use that for those two calipers and a dedicated trimmer that can trim 223 down and size in one pass.

For blackout I'm looking at either:

A. Dillon 1500
B. Honey Badger with Bosch router
C. Titan adapter with Bosch router

Benefits of the Dillon seem to be a clean cut that does not require chamfering and deburring.

The benefits of the honey badger are the stronger motor, quiet operation, soft start, and constant torque.

The benefits of the titan seem to be all of the above (since it's the same router) but comes in a better kit that all comes from the same place. The Honey badger requires buying multiple parts from different vendors.

I can buy all 3 for just about the same price.

Does anyone have experience with these options?
 
Not interested in a stand alone unit, I have an automated press so it needs to be completed on the press.
 
Does dillon make a 300 Body Odor trim die for their trimmer? If so, just get one of those.
They do, I already have one.

The 1500 is a stronger motor that doesn't require you to precut the case down before trimming. The concern is the life expectancy.

I talked to them today and they assured me that it's built to last, so I ordered the 1500. It should go nice with my 1200 that I'll use to just trim 556 and 308.
