Ken - you need to differentiate between "London style best" and "best work." The "London" gun is a style (SLE, stocked to the fences, ejectors, no thru-lumps). The "best work" gun can occur anywhere, including boxlocks. I see no reason to be a slave to Brit driven shooting fashion for USA upland shooting. If you are going to shoot a lot of driven or clay flurries, ejectors are handy. If not, they have little utility. Get a copy of Dig Hadoke's new book before you decide, if you have time.
If your heart is set on a "London best," then take care not to sell yourself short. If you want Purdey and utility, then the ejectors are of little consequence.
