RCBS beam scales

I can't speak for others, but I used a PACT digital for a few years, and checked it every now and then with check weights. Worked fine, but no faster than using the 10-10 beam scale. Then I bought a Lyman that I think is a 1200 DPS 3, or something close to that. It throws and trickles whatever powder charge you enter on the keypad, and will continue to throw that charge till you enter something else. Way way faster than the PACT or 1010. By the time I seat a bullet in a charged case, having already pushed the throw button, I can turn to the Lyman and the new charge that has been thrown already. It's continuous. No trickling to do by me.

Downside: my unit seems to want to throw 0.1 more than I input, so I now input 0.1 less than I want. Works best on ball powder, and throws less precisely with stick powder. Still, on its worst day it's fast. And accurate. I still have the check weights.
 
Right now I changing from reloading set ups:

From:
a) twin co- ax presses in reloading room
b) twin partner presses in
....1) 2006 Honda Element storage area while sitting on kiddy chair
....2) typing desk alongside my computer

To:
a) twin co- ax presses in reloading room
b) twin partner presses in
....1) 2016 Ford F150 with 4 wheel drive camper
....2) clamped in front of keyboard and display on computer

They have not finished building the camper but I know it will have a table.
I am typing this post with my arms between the uniflow and first partner on the left and with my right arm between the second partner press and auto prime on the right.

To make room for my arms to type, I must get the RCBS 505 out of the way. It is mounted so the truck going over bumps will not dislodge it in the truck, and yet I can lift it out of the way in the house.
