I have the Lyman and have used it since last Christmas. It works great, though I do recommend that when you drain a powder out to switch to another powder, you:

- Pull up the top powder reservoir and make sure that all the powder has actually drained out. There'll be some in a couple of little nooks and crannies, so brush them out and they'll then drain.
- Run the trickler to get all the powder out of that tube
- And, close the powder drain door before you start putting the new powder in the reservoir. Not doing that will cause a big mess and will make you feel stupid (at least that's how I felt - both times).

I'd have been happy with any of the dispensers, but the Lyman was on sale for the lowest price.
