The Dillon super Swager is the best if you are doing it by hand.  I run everything through, just in case.

I would have loved to buy that one but I couldn't see anything in the reviews that would justify the extra $110 with my budget

I guess to simplify my question, Between Swaging and Reaming primer pockets does one have an advantage over the other, besides speed?

Swaging does a better job.

awesome! I was hoping to hear that, I can get away with not buying the case prep station as I already have the chamfer/deburring tool and the case trimmer.

Well, after I got home from the gym I was feeling productive. Loaded 6 rounds of each load I wanted to start with, using Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets. Started with Benchmark powder and loaded 2 grains below max 1 grain below max and the max, then did the same with varget. I still have a lot of different bullets I want to try but I am waiting to do that until I get my competition die, adjusting seating depth will be easier. I'll have to go buy some 62 gr and 69gr bullets too...need to hit the range.
