I have been playing with my new .410 Bore MEC 8567N Grabber for the last couple of days and have decided that I really like it! 

I purchased this unit about a month ago, so it came with the updated priming system (no chain linkage anymore) and plastic instead of wood operating handle. The priming system was a BEAR to get adjusted properly; I was unfortunately born without the requisite third hand.
Anyway, for those wondering why the Grabber instead of the 9000GN? My answer is the approximately $200.00 difference in cost. Honestly, I would have bought a SizeMaster if only auto prime were available on it in .410 Bore. Having said that, I'm glad I ended up with the increased production rate of the MEC Grabber.
Comments and personal experience with .410 Reloaders are welcome!
