Man oh Man the prejudices really pop out in a discussion like this!
Those who state (and know) that they are both good guns, have it right.
Those that like old guns have it right too, if you like really old guns.
Those that only want their guns made in the USA, have it right as well (Forgetting that many of the really old guns had barrels made in Europe). By the way, where was your computer made?
You have to also eliminate any of the old guns that don't have Damascus barrels. since to be original, they have to have Damascus barrels. (That new fangeld steel will never catch on!)
Those that only like guns made in the "original factory" have it right as well. Which eliminates most of the Foxes, Ithaca's, even old or late "original" Parkers, etc.
Those new self contained cartridges have really crossed the line. Flint fired front loaders are the only way for us purists!
