Being able to buy Lapua brass for the x284 is a huge upside, though.
One could use Lapua 30-06 brass for the 6.5-06. It's actually cheaper than Lapua 6.5-284.
Do you think necking down from a .30 to 6.5 would necessitate neck turning? I knew Lapua made '06 brass but didn't really consider necking it down that much to be a great idea, however, I could be totally wrong.

I wouldn't worry about it. Even if the brass did need turned or reamed, it's a one time thing. No biggee.
Personally if choosing between the two I would probably go with the 6.5-284 anyway, so there wouldn't any chance of mixing up brass with the 270s and 25-06s in the house.
