Tom, could you PLEASE stick to "apples to apples"? You keep tossing oranges in your comparisons. I'm pretty sure your 3 barrel set has 2 sets of 20ga barrels and a set of 16ga. I know where there are a couple of those cheaper than that, but since we're only comparing to ICD's with ONE set of barrels--right?--then let's compare to Repro 20's with ONE set of barrels. Average asking price, from dealers, is somewhere in the mid-$4K range. By all means, check gunsinternational to verify. I only found ONE 20ga Repro priced over $5K; 10 or 11 under that. I don't think you'd have any problem buying a very nice one for $4,000. Maybe a little less. More, for sure, for a 28ga.
Other than you, I don't think I've heard of anyone spending $2100 to cure a Parker Repro SST problem. Usually, when you ask on a website such as this, you will certainly find people that have had problems with Repros with SST's--most of which are usually solved fairly quickly and simply, often just disassembly and cleaning.
And as for spending money after you buy the gun, from Dan's post above, sounds to me like you'd better be prepared to shell out some $ to a decent doublegun smith if you buy one of the 470 series, Italian parts ICD's.
