Reloading Tools, Gadgets+Gotta Haves

Looking to the seasoned veterans here for some divine guidance.
Just started reloading for .223 and .270 Win. I have a threesome
of RCBS junior presses (will reload soon for .45acp & .44mag)
Rifle dies, powder thrower, 2 scales, trickler, brushes and chamfer tool.
I still need flash hole de-burr tools and primer pocket cleaner/reamer.
All my brass has been fire formed in my rifles, and fired once (factory rounds). I'm looking forward to case trimming, however, do I go with a RCBS Trim pro (and not worry about the inside of the
case necks) or go with the trim pro and the 3-way case cutters?
Most of my .223 work is on varmits(Howa w/bull barrell)the .270 (Ruger M77) will be for pigs and blacktails for the most part.
Your opinions please! What works for your set up?

Excessive trimming weakens/thins the neck. Just check it to make sure it's within tolerances and trim as needed. After the first firing, trim all cases to the same size an let'er rip.
I use the trim pro with the power attachment so I can debur and chamfor a case while the next case is being trimmed simultaneaously.
primer pocket tools,..I use sinclair with the power driver attachment for a drill.
