"Interesting comments, wonder how many here has shot a well made English Best?"

I have, lots of them, and also Italian, French, Spanish, Belgian and German high end guns. The best feel in the hands I have come across is in English medium to high quality SINGLE barrel guns from makers like Lang, Midland, and others.

I carried out an experiment one day in a shop that has hundreds of high end guns. After clients mounted best doubles I put the Lang single in their hands. Everyone was impressed with the feel, but no one was willing to forego the second shot.

Something similar happened with the Beretta 304 which is three shot 2 3/4 chambered. It is one of the best handling autos, but it was outsold 5 to 1 by the Beretta 390 with its 4 shot capacity and magnum chamber. The 390 handles like a brick but provides more firepower and that seems to count.
