I'm rounding out the last few things I'll need before starting to reload. The last major purchase, before I move onto dies and components for the caliber I start out with (38 Special, as was recommended here), looks to be a case prep center. I'm already set up with a wet tumbler for cleaning and trimming is covered (mostly for when I move on to rifle calibers obviously but wanted to get it now).
The two I'm looking at the most are the Frankford Arsenal Case Prep Center which I can get for $75 or so and the RCBS Brass Boss which will run me about $150. The Brass Boss has adjustable speeds for the bits and two more stations as the main perks, just not sure if it's worth double the price when what I save with the FA could pay for a die set. Just looking for opinions, or other options in a similar price range if I've missed them. I do have a hand chamfer and deburring tool, but I know myself and that would get old fast and I'd want a powered unit sooner than later.
