Is there any reason not to get the hollow-point version of the 454-423 from MP, even if I (maybe) will mostly cast solid bullets?

Obviously the solid only version is less expensive, but the HP version obviously much more flexible.

I am a big fan of the hp molds. You can always cast a solid with it but can’t cast a hp with a solid only mold.

That's my thought. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something about the solid-only mold, but I didn't expect I would be.
