Not to keep kicking the dead horse... you are right abut some additional cost with Dillon, but it buys you extra convenience and function.
Be it as it may, unless you have a chance to spend some time with both systems, you will never know for sure. Given fairly large group of happy Hornady customers you can say one can be happy with it. Ditto for the Dillon devotees.
OTOH... I know of some people who switched from Hornady to Dillon, myself included.
I can't recall anyone doing the reverse...
