Simpler is better. I believe the Spaniards were quite capable of building very good quality into their guns, but, most importers to the US were more interested in keeping the price as competitive as possible. I can imagine the frustration of the Spanish makers hearing every year how the guns had to be 10-20 dollars cheaper. My model 30, built in 1972, is actually engraved, something that went away in later versions.
We users of these guns are better served when they aren't at the gunsmith for repairs.
Rob, that first photo belongs on a magazine cover. Outstanding.

Best,

Hi Ted, while simpler may be better, I've owned several Spanish guns over the years and never had any problems with their ejectors. They've always been timed well and always have ejected quite well. ST as we both agree are another matter. Seems like the Spanish just can't get this right (as well as other makers). Oh well, guess we can't always agree. I respect your opinion.

WGH, as Ted said, these are good simple guns and tend to be a cut above most of the lesser Spanish makers. Uggies have a very good track record. You could do a lot worse.

Good Luck!
