The dies in the Platinum change one at a time. You have to loosen a set screw for each tool (deprime punch, powder drop tube, wad ram, shot drop tube, pre-crimp, crimp, etc.) and replace each one at a time. Very slow and tedious you'll get tired of it very quickly. The 800+ has all the dies attached to a single plate so you swap the entire plate in and out. Much faster. The tooling is more expensive for the 800+ because it includes that plate which is a big part.
I bought an 800+ two years ago now and it has worked very well. I would not return it for a Platinum if provided the opportunity.
