Title sums it up. Is there any reason not to add a case feeder to a 650? Are the casefeeders fussy, or is there a better option? Loading 9mm only.

You will want the case feeder. The only reason NOT to get it would be to reduce the initial purchase price and you could use it for a bit without, but the 650/750 is pretty much made to use with the case feeder.
I used my SL900 like that for the first skeet season, but my shotgun volumes are lower (and I had just dropped the $ on another shotgun! )
ETA: If you have the 650 and are just getting the feeder, you are gonna be a very happy man!!!

I pretty much hated the 650 UNTIL running it with a case feeder. Dillon shouldn't even offer that as an option.
With that said here's a low cost alternative if you're handy:

I ran my 650 for the first two seasons without the case feeder, it works fine but adding the feeder made everything much smoother and of course faster.
With the feeder and the strong mount it is quite tall, the top of the feeder bowl is 45" above the mounting surface. In my installation on a 38" high bench (for loading while standing) this places the top of feeder bowl 4" below the ceiling joists, leaving just enough room to exchange the feed plate and clear the occasional jam. I top up the feed bowl by pouring cases from a coffee can.
The case feeder is a must-have for high throughput reloading. It’s very reliable and trouble free.
I don't speak Woke. Can you say that in English?
Might as well use a 550 if no case and bullet feeders.
Next step is a bullet feeder...
