I really appreciate all the comments. It seems that most of the allure is ......."I just like them". Nothing wrong with that. It's why I prefer Foxes over Lefevers, or Ithacas. Unless I overlooked something no one has offered any hard and fast mechanical reasons for preferring them over other O/Us. All of which makes sense when you consider that no-one shoots them at competition sporting, a game in which getting just one more target can make the difference in $$$$ and also ran, and breakdowns are much less tolerated than in hunting. Other O/Us are just better suited to the game, evidently.
I would have no interest in a 20 Super unless it was at least 30" barreled. Might be fun for doves and woodies, but that's where I like 30" tubes. I'm going to use a S X S 20 ga. on quail, or my Verona O/U 28. Or, occasionally, a S X S .410. And, I have no interest in a Superposed 12. either. My only O/U 12 ga. is my competition gun. When I hunt with a 12 ga. it is a S X S.
Mike, the only way I can understand your answering my question, with a question about a strawberry, is to say that you must mean that you like the way the ejectors and sears sound when they fire or recock, since you obviously can't taste them.
Glad so many people enjoy them. Another legacy of a master gun designer.
