"My question is what's the difference is between die manufactuers?"

Looks and cost; like with women the pretty ones don't work any better but they are more expensive. Dies are all made to produce ammo to SAMMI specifications and that's about all we can ask. Some folks like one small thing (like lock rings) and others like the opposite, but, fact is, on average, a talented loader can make excellant ammo with any of them while a poor loader can't make good ammo with any of them.
