This is one of those threads which is as much about which flavor ice cream or brand is best. In some respects I hesitate to throw into the argument but here it goes:
In looking at the designs (BLE vs SLE) the one difference I find that seems to favor the SLE is the use of replaceable firing pins (stykers). I have had to replace the hammer on an A&D style action on which the pin had broken off. While it is an uncommon occurence it is much easier to fix on SLE. Is there a boxlock design which does not had the firing pin integral to the hammer
I am surprised that the question of whether the triggerplate round action is superior to either the sidelock or boxlock. I will always regret letting loose of the one german triggerplate action I let pass through my hands.
In final analysis I could argue any of the three is superior in their best forms.
