HD: Maybe I am somewhat of an oddity, I really don't like new tools or equipment. I know its an oddity for a mechanic/technician type, maybe I am cheap (though I tend to put good money into what I buy)
I have two powder dispenser because one failed and I had to go back to hand trickle I did not like. Both were on a good sale but not cheap either. As noted by my brother, I can dual load cases and process like crazy. That has appeal for faster (without safety issue in my view)
The Annie was the same, my take was it was the best bang for the quality buck in not having to do tests all the time and uncertainty. I have a quality control process that works with it. Not that you can't with a torch but it seemed to be a big pain to ensure that.
My cheap Frankfurt did well, the new one did not. hmmm. Wanted faster so I got a Lyman (forget what, build on powder trickle)> its my back up and general weighting.
So no, I don't want a Co-ax to have a new toy, its only if I convince myself that it has benefits. So far the best one (for my class of shooting if you even want to call casual target a class) is I can swap dies faster than unscrew and screw in.
I lack flexibility of bench space so Multiple presses are not a good option without getting in the way of other work (its shared space so a press interferes and no other good options with the shop layout and my wife's stuff)
The reduced run out would be a bonus. I may have to get the device to measure that (or see if my brother has one I can borrow better yet) and see how I am doing.
I do know that when you buy good tools, usually the better operation has a enjoyably aspect that is a bonus.
If someone does not like, think or want the Co-Ax for any reason, I am good with that, we don't have lots of choices in this world and nice to have those.
I am less good with knocking it when its been proven to be better at what it does.
