Still need one, and still haven't found one I like.

It seems all of the good ones don't do both pistol and rifle calibers. From my research, this seems to be the consensus:

Hornady Lock-N-Load Case Prep Center: seems the motor bearing burn out, it's hard to get a square cut, and it's pricey.

RCBS Trim Pro Power Case Trimmer: Has an inconsistent power switch, and also hard to get a square cut.

Lyman Power Trimmer: piece of junk. Motor gets very hot and dies quickly.

Giraud Power Trimmer: Very expensive. Well-built, but only does rifle calibers.

Gracey Power Cartridge Case Trimmer: Reasonable price, rifle calibers only.

Dillon Power Case Trimmer: Would have to invest a small fortune in trim dies.
