Dye Cockers, well, are just like other top end Cockers. They work well, shoot smoothly, look cool, and if you take care of them they'll last a long time. Except for milling and small differences in the trigger, which yeah you can be a connoiseur of and a lot of people are, most high end Cockers with the notable exception of the Revenge v2 really are a lot alike, in fact if you didn't know the milling and ano schemes and a few other little details like nuances of the trigger jobs, you couldn't tell them apart.
