I do not own a set of dippers, LEE or otherwise. So based on absolutely no data at all, I'd have a hard time depending on a volume measurment when I'm striving for weight.

I'm a scale freak ... no dipping for me.

On the other hand I like to think of myself as a reasonable, semi intelligent fellow. I feel like volume measuring would have a narrow margine of error. Probably good enough for straight wall pistol loading. I'd think, each dipper would have to be calibrated for the powder being used.
