Brian,
Here is another way to look at it.
I fooled around with a friend's hammer gun a bit, and one of the things that I was really impressed with, that I did not anticipate BTW (in addition to it being so graceful and slim), was that there was no effort required to open and close it after shooting, because you are not cocking anything.
That was a bit of a revelation to me, not sure why exactly... Just never thought about it, I guess.
Anyway, with an extractor gun you are one step removed from that, as it cocks the tumblers when you open it.
And an ejector gun is yet an additional step removed, as you are cocking the tumblers on opening, and compressing the ejector springs on closing (most of them, anyway).
If you are shooting clays, or driven birds, or doves, I can understand the benefit of ejectors. But for grouse and woodcock shooting, particularly over a pointing dog, I will pass.
