My main argument for the SKB would have been PARTS and repairs.
At least in the USA, you will love an old classic handmade double right up to the point where something breaks. Then you have two great hurdles: 1) finding a gunsmith who actually can and will do the work correctly, and 2) paying for it after the (usually) long wait.
SKBs don't break and even if they did, parts are available and don't need to be fabricated.
Hope the situation is better in Oz!
