You are really talking about the same thing, sort of. A standard taper crimp die does just that, crimps. The Lee Carbide Factory Crimp (CFC) die for auto-pistol cartridges is a taper crimp die that adds a carbide ring to size the case body at the same time as you crimp.
The CFC die is principally intended for bullets of nominal or, if you will, "Standard" diameter for caliber. Either with slightly thicker brass or bullets larger than "standard" it can re-size the bullet at the same time it is sizing the case. Not so much with the tapered 9mm case, though.
"Standard for caliber" would mean:
.38/357 .357"
.44 .429"
.40/10mm .401"
And on, and on......
If you load or need bullets bullets larger than the nominal diameter for your caliber the CFC isn't going to work for you.
