They all work very well for pistol powders. I have a Lyman 55, a Lee Perfect Powder Measure, and a Lee Pro Auto disk. The auto disk is only for the turret press but it works fine. For pistol powders, the cheapo Perfect Powder Measure is just as consistent as the Lyman 55 for about 1/3 of the price. They will all throw +/- 0.1 gr of most pistol powders, most of them are dead on. Unique powder doesn't measure as well with any of them, but it works good enough to get the job done.
Rifle powders can be tougher. The extruded powders common in rifles can vary on either of my measures. Naturally, the spherical powders made by Ramshot and Western meter extremely well. For some powders, the Lyman 55 works slightly better than the Lee Perfect Powder measure. For other rifle powders, it is the opposite. On a limited budget, the Perfect Powder measure is good. It is drastically better than not having any measure at all.
