Wilson, not sure about time savings because I really just step load. I may only load <100 at a time. I had a dillion 650 and sold it because it was definitely more than i needed. Also had a autotrickler at one time but never really loaded to volume that i could justify it and sold it. I had a hornady auto charge(wrapped out) that i would drop light than trickle/tweezer up. With the harrells I can dump the powder in containers and then trickle/tweezer up. I use redding dies for 223 and forester for and hornady dies for 6.5creed. And use lee dies for pistol.You can adapt the Hornady Lock-N-Load bushing system for the Redding Big Boss II if the couple of seconds it takes to change dies is a big concern.
A powder dispenser system doesn't enhance precision, but can speed up your process. In fact, you may be more precise with the beam scale.
For me, I'm always looking for a way to shave time off my loading process. I use a Super Trickler at the moment, and it can have a charge ready for me before I'm finished seating a bullet in the previously charged case.
What sort of trimming setup are you using? That may be your biggest block of time to save money, likely much more than the time it takes to screw dies in and out.
