In one word. Giraud.

I like the henderson trimmer, never used a giraud so i can't compare.

So...not that I'm authoritative, but for my F-class brass, I only use the Giraud. However, for my other (numerous) "off calibers" [to use Dave Christian's lexicon...] where I'm not aspiring to sub-MOA performance at long range, I use the Trimit 2. The three way adjustable trimming head is pretty much the same in concept as the Giraud, and if you aren't too anal about having the exact everything, the same bearing/bushing combination can do an adequate job across multiple calibers.

I think the Henderson is an upgrade from the Giraud and we have since sold off our Giraud. Its advantages are mainly ergonomic...better on the hands over long sessions. It is also a wee bit faster. When trimming 1,000 pieces of brass, that makes a big difference to us. BUT, it is even more expensive than the Giraud...luxury item.

I don't have the motor, still using a portable drill. Fast and accurate for $400. It takes me longer to clean primer pockets than it does to trim, chamfer, and deburr with the Henderson Precision trimmer.
