LD,
I would have a Benelli too. A friend hunts one of the very light weight 12's, I don't know the model. They offer a light weight 20. I'm sorely tempted. What's that Pastor's number?!

Buzz,
I would guess quite some time. I do think the upgraded guns are worth a premium over the standard RBL. The guns are probably OK at 5-6K. The problem is the competition for them increases dramatically at that price.

Think of say a classic A.H. Fox, the Sterlingworth is in all respects the foundation of every A.H. Fox gun. The difference is in the final finish, wood and engraving. The price ascending accordingly.
