Irvin, I doubt any difference would ever exceed the cost of a good dinner at a fine establishment. The real value of either gun is way it finds your shoulder in a covey burst of 25 birds. "Field" grade guns will probably never be sought after collectors items, never a serious investment.....the "bang bang" of a double with your gun will make it priceless. Looks like a good year for the birds...be safe and good hunting. DK
