Just started with my first auto electronic powder measure after viewing countless videos of various options. I ended up selecting the Intellidropper by Frankford Arsenal because of the price, features, and reviews.
Ordered through Amazon in the morning and it was on my doorstep before 10:00PM that evening. Cost was around $195 Setup was easy and intuitive
What I like: Powder drop calibration mode automatically determines the best flow rate for the powder you are running 17 second drop Consistent accuracy verified by my beam scale Bluetooth integration to import data for several loads from a spreadsheet Upload load data to machine Complete control from my Android phone Ability to trickle each grain Auto mode starts the next drop when the tray is set back on the scale (about a 4 second pause at the scale stabilizes)
What I don't like: Build seems cheaper (Chinese) than RCBS. Everything is made in China these days, unfortunately
I measured both spherical and extruded powder types and am very happy with the accuracy and speed. The auto powder calibration mode is super cool.

Nice! If the accuracy and the speed are good, that's what matters in my opinion. I have the RCBS, and I struggled with both of those things until I get the settings changed; now it works quite well.
You mentioned a bunch of other features that the Intellidropper has, like integration with the phone. I know that I use about 1% of the RCBS' capabilities, and I don't care. I punch in a powder weight, and it drops that weight. That's all I want it for, I don't want to save my data in it or do anything else.
So yeah, accuracy and speed are what matter to me.
Let us know if your opinion changes after you've used it for a bit.

What is a plus on the Frankford is the price and value you get, it’s my next purchase.
