I bought the Super Trickler (ST). I decided on it based upon results of a lot of reviews and it suited more of what I'm looking for than the others. I did NOT try anything else - as full disclosure - just reviews.
I didn't go the route of the Hornady, RCBS, Lyman route, because I wanted more accuracy than .1 grain. I see these options being more than adequate for most folks. Here is a good video I watched that compared several of them:

The ST is easy to set up and get going - no app required - totally self contained. Arrived quicker than expected.
This is going to make loading ladders so much quicker and easier! It will also help in getting more consistent ammo.
I used it for IMR4895 and BL-C(2) for 30-06. The initial learning for each powder took a few minutes for the device to acquire settings, but not bad at all. Using a LNL progressive press, I was able to get low 10's and 6.0 SD as I closed in on the sweet spot for each load. MUCH better than the Hornady powder measure that comes with the press!!
It required 30 min warm up for accuracy. Easily overcome by the auto start feature where you can set a time for it to turn on.
It is sensitive to any air movement so I had to redirect my fan.
.02 grain accuracy.
I ended up putting it on a HEAVY DUTY roll cart next to my reloading bench so it wasn't affected by any vibration on the reloading bench. Not sure this was necessary, but it is what I did.
Having it for just a bit:
- would I buy it again - definitely!
- do I regret buying it - not at all.
Will I use it for pistol - yes - but only load development.
Will I use it for bulk rifle - like 223 with frangible bullets - yes - but only for load development.
Will I used it for rifle that isn't shot a lot/frequently - all the time!
It also allows for a LOT of tweaking if you the type to do that, and can reset it to defaults if you really screw it up. I have tried changing/tweaking things but haven't had to do a reset yet. Can also back up profiles so they are not lost when upgrading the firmware - no I haven't tried that yet.
