I just sold my PW 800+. Not that it has any issues at all. I just like to be able to quickly and painlessly switch components (including hulls) in a heartbeat. Yes you can do that with a PW if you are willing to play the learning curve. A MEC is undeniably quick and easy to changeover for varying components. PW is great for reloading the same load over and over and over. Much depends on the depth of your pockets and the time you have available and want to devote to reloading. Just remember, you can throw away 2 MEC's for the price of one PW. The extra capacity of the PW didn't really seem like such a plus when reloading in many flavors over a weekend. Long brass on field case will pull hard on the PW. I'm now using the extra money for more practice and a class from a pro. We'll see what happens. Best of luck to you. Dan
