The advantage the Palmer will always have over the HH is the eliptical honing. When your low on cash or just want to stay with the cheap stuff, sizing paint will be worthless due to the inconsistancy of cheap paint. No matter what size you use, you will chop paint. Only exception would be if you used a very large bore, but then accuracy and consistancy would suffer greatly. With the Brass, It will almost always shoot any paint of size, shape, or price. I just recently purchase a 25 dollar case of 2000. With inconsistant bore, dimples, bad seams, and already broken paint in the bag, not one break with the whole case. I am not saying it is not possible with the HH, but that would be very hard to come by, no chops and all. Both, I believe, are great barrels, but I have to give it to the Palmer for the fact of never having to worry about sizing paint, just screw it on and never worry about the paint you buy. Not to mention 45 dollars when compared to buying a whole kit for 100 plus.
