Thoughts of Hornady's New 3‑in‑1 Power Case Trimmer

I don't think these are available for purchase yet... but I could be wrong?? Has anybody seen one or used one? Thoughts on performance and how it compares to the Henderson and/or Giraud?

I know there's some concerns with how similar this new trimmer seems to be to another one already on the market, but I'm more interested in just learning about comparing performance. I'm ready to take the jump and get a power 3-in-1 trimmer and the ability to microadjust trim length with the Hornady model is very appealing to me. Thanks!

Basically a Henderson. I'm sure it will work great. I don't think anyone has their hands on one yet.
 
Last I looked on YouTube there was only the one video directly from Hornady! So I assume it isn't available yet! I'm about ready to pull the plug too but don't really want to spend $600 on it when I'm lusting over other items -- such as a night scope or Thermal scanner!
Henderson has a price of $439 and I though that was a Black Friday price but when I asked them if that came with their motor, their answer wasn't very direct but I think they meant it did not come with the motor. I would have gone that route if it had come with a motor.
I have the RCBS Trim Pro Case Trimmer and the RCBS Trim Mate but they take up so much room on my bench and I'm out of room -- so I finally decided to get the Frankfort Arsenal Case Trimmer because it's so much smaller and portable -- then sell my Trim Pro Case Trimmer & Trim Mate! I've got a bunch of Shell Plates, pilots & 3 Way Cutters for it & it will do the same thing as the Hornady & Henderson but not as quickly or as easily!
I like the looks of the set-up of the Hornady better than the Henderson but they both appear to be pretty slick and desirable -- & yes, I'm waiting on reviews on the Hornady too! Maybe I'll ask for one of them to be a Christmas gift for next year!

It's easy to hit the $1000 mark with the Henderson depending on what accessories you include.
 
I'm ready to buy once and cry once for an upgraded piece of equipment that will save me a lot of time and will hopefully last as long, if not longer, than I do.

a one step power trimmer is a must for a volume shooter/ reloader
