So you don't get the variation in neck tension from using a full size die.

+1, best of both worlds

Dogmatix, when you do body/bump + collet, when do you trim, before or after sizing ?

Other option if you already have the full deluxe set, is to take the FL die, remove the decapping pin/expander ball, and then drill out the neck part, turning it into a Lee body die
