If I'm wanting to get an A&D scale and Auto Trickle set up. Is the Area 419 full setup the best way to go or is there someone else that has better accessories.
Area 419 A&D Scale and Auto Trickle Question

I don't know about the stock setup, but the 419 stuff is hard to beat. If you search this forum, you can find a lot of comments about the relative merits of each.
This is what I did because every time he came out with an item I bought it, so there was no full setup.
As far as is it worth it to buy the whole set up? I don’t know, it sure cost a lot but I definitely like it and makes it much more useable for the above reasons. I think you can get the exact same accuracy in probably almost the same amount of time with the stock auto trickler and auto throw but the area 419 takes some of the small annoyances away.
With the stock base I had paper wedged under the back of it to adjust the tilt. I put my scale and the trickler on a mouse pad to reduce vibration so I never had an issue with it walking because it was too lite but I would have to adjust the paper every time I started because I move my scales and trickler to cover them to keep dust off of them, I don’t have to adjust it any more with the 419 base.
I like the clear lid, just allows me to set up inter of hunching over, which could probably be solved too by having a higher loading bench.
The long handled cup was huge improvement over the little standard RCBS tray that I was using, much easier to grab and much easier to keep from dropping it. Once again just a convenience.
I would say the base is the best upgrade of all the items and most of them just make it easier and more convenient. For me that makes it worth it because it makes the reloading more enjoyable and less of a chore. That means I am more likely to do it, in turn means I’m more likely to have ammo loaded which means I have armmo to go shoot.

I think the 419 clear housing will work. Sure makes it easy to see whats going on.
I bet it will be quick. He’s on the ball about shipping stuff out, probably get shipping confirmation first thing in the morning. Area 419 is one of my favorite companies to do business with.
Thanks.
I do love working with Area 419. I think the scale and 419 parts ship seperate with the scale coming from another company. I read that the scales were back ordered somewhere but who knows.
