To me it is a matter of aesthetics. I owned three shotguns: a Browning Superposed 12 gauge, a 16 gauge side by made by August Schuller, and a 20 gauge Series I side by made by Vincenzo Bernardelli. The Browning was well made, but it was big and bulky. It was a trap gun and it performed well, but i always enjoyed mounting the side bys. They seemed like they were an extension of my body and they balanced forward of the trigger guard. They were, both, stocked with pistol grips and beavertails. I own an Italian over & under made by Rizzini, but it is a sporting clays model.

I seem to shoot better with a SXS than an O/U so this determines my double gun preference. Also, SXS guns tend to have the double triggers which I prefer.

Because most of us are romantics at heart. Perhaps we are a tad more eccentric than most. Why else would we prefer cedar canoes, bamboo fly rods, old cars, bipanes, wood burning stoves, wicker chairs, waxed paper hulls, cork decoys, open sights, early African hunting stories, black and white photos, Hoppes #9, history, honesty, poetry, pipe smoke, old wornout clothing, wet dogs, old leather, pawn shops, that first kiss, christmas mornings, grandads.....

Because "some" of us are romantics at heart:
No seat belts, one tail light, shirts with pockets, covered front porches, wood propellers, steam engines, wood stocks, junk yards, V-8's, un-grounded wall plugs, float planes, real ice cream, telephone booths, corner mail boxes, real wood boxes, radial engines, welded steel products, leaded gasoline,.. F/F or F/M fixed chokes.., roll up windows, Chris Craft, ..2.5" 12/16/20's.., clear mornings..............
