I just got the 1200 from Lyman and bag of media with polish from Cabelas for $78 shipped and it's not big but does the job! Keeps me entertained.

I bought a great big one from Midway back in the early 90s and couldn't remember the model number but I do now---it's a 2092. I have never regretted getting the biggest one I knew of. Still runnin' strong.

I have the Cabelas mod. 400 and its been a good one for me. I paid $64 and it came with a bag of media and polish.

I have the large Hornady, not sure of the model # but 5+ years old, used frequently and runs like a top.

I have used both the Cabelas and Frankford Arsenal. Probably any brand would work O K. I would advise that you get a rotary media separator. They make it quick to get your brass out of the cleaning media.

Don't be a cheap one like Frankford Aresenal. I purchased a Frankford because I was impatient and didn't want to wait I had a little more money. The dang thing stopped working after 3 months, so my lesson learned was "Spend a little more and get one that will last longer".

I have one of the Cabelas, have done 3 loads of brass and it is fine. I wanted one of those Hornady liquid ones too, thought the cleanup would be nicer. Couldn't really justify the change after i already had one.
There's so much I don't know that I don't even know what I don't know.

I got the Hornady after my other Frankford crashed. Its so quiet I keep going over to make sure its running. If you don't mind noise any will work for awhile. If you want a quiet one I would check into the Hornady.
