Exactly Larry!!
He is incorrectly applying differing standards to an English built gun.
In the majority of cases doubles built in America, Italy, Spain France, Germany; the smaller gauges are always lighter and livelier and carry better than the bigger gauges...except when you're talking about an English built gun.
The English gun is in a league all of its own and a 'Best' quality 12 gauge handles and carries like nothing you have ever handled before or since. If you're interested in an English built gun and that is your main requirement then gauge won't matter at all.
