I agree that a true high quality of either the BLE or SLE is better than a poor quality one. The best esample of either beats a poor example of it opposite.

That said it is possible to buy a high quality BLE for less than a high quality SLE.

If price is the criteria then the box lock wins, then again if price is the criteria then a repeater Auto or Pump wins. While price is a factor, there is more to it than that.

There is functionality, appearance, and the intangibles of grace.

I see best guns as more than tools. I believe while they are tools in part, they are works of art.
