I would have agreed, until I got the Beretta XCell. Not the same workmanship or all steel parts, but for function it has the SuperX Model 1 beat. Combined with the fact when something does break replacement parts will be easier to obtain and they are easier to clean.
I have three Model 1's and used one exclusively for a few years. A great semi that unfortunately became too expensive to make and be competitive in pricing. Much like the old Model 70.
