Not quite a prometheus but fits my budget much better.
Great thread going on accuratehooter about the autotrickler and how some people are modifying it.
Here is my setup. Set to 42.68 grains of H4350 Occasionally will throw an extra kernel so I set it to 42.68 and drop one kernel with the Omega trickler if needed to get to my preferred load of 42.7 grains

That scale looks nice, a little pricy at $600+
Sweet. Very affordable compared to the Prometheus.
Might have to get one for small batches.

Prometheus is 3K everything thing is relative .
Wonder if I could get my Denver Instruments scale to drive the trickler , right now do the same thing but trickle by hand .

You can get the scale for $550 and trickler for $200. Total of $800 after shipping. Would love a prometheus but am VERY happy with this setup. Can also use scale to weigh things other than charges. Great thread here regarding autotrickler setup if anyone is interested: http://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/turn-your-fx-120i-into-a-prometheus.3897203/
My Denver Instruments scale has a printer / data port . Gonna have to email the guy and see .
Just waiting on my scale. Got the trickler a little while back.

I have an extra set of bearings (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BBD3D2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) if you want. Makes it run ultra smooth without having to keep lubing it.
For others looking to buy the scale, the best price I've found is http://cambridgeenviro.com $710 canadian which comes to about $550 US
