I have Parkers and a Sterlingworth. I'd choose Sterlingworth for the reasons mentioned above. There's also citation of our distinguished member SDH in his "Double Shotguns, Fine Gunmaking" quoting Michael McIntosh of what gun he would choose for a high-grade custom project. "If it were mine it would be a Fox." The accompanying story was of SDH's magic of turning the Sterly into a swan.
