RCBS vs Lyman Case Trimmer

I am seeking opinions on the RCBS and Lyman manual case trimmers. I know there are others out there however I have some gift certificates to Gander Mountain and they only carry the RCBS and Lyman brands. Personal experience with either one of these would be much appreciated.

Thanks
 
Either one is equally bad IMO for the same reason, the pilots. When you're taking a fair amount off the brass, the cut brass tends to flare out and get involved with the pilot and inside of the case neck. I made new pilots that had a dead square shoulder where they meet the cutter, and helped, but the issue is still there. Buy a Wilson, and use the certificate for something else.
