That's just about it, the workers on the Benchrest line are "better workers" from what I hear too.

Now an even better question... Considering there are really no differences between the standard primers and the benchrest primers why do the benchrest primers cost at least 50% more!!!??? CCI200 primers are $30/1000, CCI #34 NATO primers are $33/1000 and CCI BR-2 primers are $46/1000... That's ridiculous!!!
