IMHO German Field Grade guns appear to be a great value . . . they'd make great starter doubles for kids, grandkids or other friends and relatives.
I'm a diehard bottom feeder and have a safe full of double shotguns, all purchased for mere pittance amounts ($500, give or take). Included among those are the previously mentions IZH-54, a Sterlingworth, a Miroku, a couple of British BSA guns, a Husqvarna, a Sears/AYA 100, etc. I must say I'm quite impressed by the quality of the Sauer I just got. The Simpson LTD offerings have been picked over but I'll definitely keep my eyes out for another batch and be ready to pounce when they show.
