Builder,
If you like Parker Repros, which I don't, then this would probably does not seem like a good deal. The only Parker Repro I've owned I refer to as "The Gun from Hell". The single trigger worked for about a month and then toured the country for the next two years looking for someone who could get it to work. When this failed, I had Howard Miller put a single trigger in that would work. The total cost in trigger work was around $2,000 including $1,100 for the Miller single trigger. I was so sick of this gun, I sold it shortly thereafter at a substantial loss...good riddance.
We won't talk about the terrible case coloring that has the longevity of finger paint, or the stock dimensions suitable for anyone 4'11", not to mention the worst single trigger ever made.
As you can see, there is no warm as fuzzy feeling for Parker Repros in this neighborhood. They're not such a bargain when the wheels fall off.
I've owned both and I will take an RBL any day.
Incidentally, I'm sure that CSMC is not going to send you a gun with two sets of barrels and not have the FE fit both,or for that matter, a second FE that wouldn't interchange with both bbls.
