Default Sorting DOES make a difference

As a buyer, I am willing to pay more for sorted brass. I believe it definitely does make a significant difference in the consistency of the reloading process. For example, R-P 45ACP is consistently "thin" and loose and requires a lot more crimp; Speer 45ACP is stiff and tight and requires more of a flare to prevent shaving the bullets when seating. Federal and W-W are the most consistently uniform.
Does it make any huge difference in accuracy? Well,if you're just plinking around, probably not enough to notice, but, if you are in a bullseye tournament where a few points seperate places, I believe in giving myself every chance possible.
The only time I will use mixed brass is if I am just banging around in the great outdoors where I will not likely be recovering the used brass anyway.
