You're not getting many replies for the two centers you linked to, mostly because they are pricey & fairly new. I do all the things you want to do, but I collected the tools to do it before either of those products were in production......so I had to work around using the older RCBS prep center and a motorized Forster trimmer mounted vertically and actuated by a foot pedal. Later, when it came out, I added an RCBS bench-mounted military crimp swager. What I have works so well I haven't felt the need to buy one of the new red or green prep centers/trimmers.............BUT, had I just now graduated to a progressive press, and come to the sudden realization that case prep is now a serious
slow bottleneck.......I would buy one of the two you listed.
I've looked at both of them pretty closely and like features of each. Here's my take:
RCBS Pluses: Trimmer uses a 3-way trimmer like my Forster......
Big Plus; prep tools are on top so gravity helps you (at my age another plus) Variable speed is a nice plus the old prep center didn't have. The trimmer isn't vertical, but it does have automatic feed so it doesn't matter. Universal case holder is neat.
Hornady Plus: Trimmer is vertical and gravity helps.....only thing is I don't personally care for the case holder on it....but that's a personal thing....no 3-way cutter that I'm aware of.
Now, I use a swager for military crimps, but I also use a reamer on the case prep center for ID & good measure. Being swaged, it takes just a bump to put a tiny round-over on the case head, to make it easier for me to tell that the case has been previously swaged.
Don't know what hdwhit reloads with.....or how young he is, but I used to case prep the same way he does........and besides my progressive press, the smartest thing I bought was the little RCBS case prep center.....reloading pleasure doubled. One pass through all the stations takes seconds and a lot of drudgery work is mitigated.....which is why I decided to mount and motorize the little Forster trimmer......and add the three-way cutter....more annoyances "mitigated"!
The reason I wondered how old hdwhit is is because if he's young he has more strength, patience, energy to do case prep the hard way, than I do. I've reloaded for nearly 45 years.....I'm tireder, crankier, and NOT patient anymore.....I need all the help I can git.
With my setup now where motorized trimming is in another location, I trim a 100 rounds of sized/deprimed rifle in less than 5 minutes and they are trimmed,deburred and chamfered in that one operation. Then I swage, uniform the primer pocket depth and deburr flash holes in a second operation (swager is setup to do that at the same time) and that operation for 100 rounds takes about 10 to 15 minutes. so at most 20 minutes of case prep for 100 rounds, not counting the sizing operation. On the new RCBS unit after the sizing/deprime operation I would be able do it all rest of the case prep in one operation!
On my progressive I do two passes. One to size......(case prep off the press ... the bottle neck no matter how it's done).... then one to charge, seat, and crimp. Speeding up that bottleneck is sure as heck important to me!
