Talked to Mr. Waltz yesterday. They are $145 shipped. He's a retired machinist and does a few of these at a time.

The PACO tool has been around for a long time, but I'm not sure if he's in business anymore. His old website is no longer functional.
The one plus that I see to the Waltz tool is that you get a consistent & uniform amount of force applied when sizing the ammo; whereas Paco required a hammer strike. Too much or too little force with the Paco tool and you could get inconsistent results.

$145's too much for me. I'd order today if it was $75 for just the die, no shell holder.
Wow.
Now instead of just hitting a šæ in the š, you can center the bullet in that š.

But you don't. It only takes a tap, but there is no consequence to hitting harder.
Paco's tool allows you to choose the bullet diameter. Waltz' tool sizes to 0.225" only. I don't know if it makes any difference with most rifles. Certainly with lead bullets it makes sense to slightly oversize them.
A interesting study.
