The finish eats up a lot of the price of a "best work" gun. Therefore, costwise, it matters little what the design, style, or brand (excepting for significantly differing cost for skilled labor). It took me a long time to figure this out and even longer to accept it.

Anyone who has not done so should read "Nothing But the Best" for an insight into the Brit skilled trades.
