I guess we could compare OU vs sxs to aluminum vs wooden bats. Aluminum has a bunch of advantages . . . but they still use wood in MLB. I expect part tradition, and part the fact that the top pros are willing to challenge themselves with an "inferior" piece of equipment....
....In the same way, a lot of OU's now being used in driven shooting in the UK....
I don't know if it's a good comparison, but in a way, I think it is exactly how equipment is chosen at the highest level. I think the top pros in baseball would gladly use anything that gave them an advantage and are constantly caught for cheating, but they are constrained by a rule book NOT a willingness to challenge themselves. Where top shotgunners are free to choose a competitive edge, they do so.
Driven shooting? That may be the most exclusive and expensive shotgun activity. It may be more about desires and appearances, maybe not the best place to justify one configuration over another.
