Browning introduced the Cynergy with the intent that it did not take Citori sales away, hence the strong Euro look. What is not readily known is the handwork that goes into a Citori; it is hand-fitted using the old lamp-black method: the Citori is one heck of a gun. Having said all that, the Cynergy is one heck of a gun too. The hinge is totally different and it is very low profile. Different type of manufacture allows Browning to do better with both guns in the line. There are more traditional looking Cynergy's now.
When choosing a shotgun, choose fit first then models and features second. If it doesn't fit you won't hit. That is one thing I do not like about the Beretta O/U shotguns, they all have the same dimensions and if one doesn't fit, none will. Browning makes different models with different dimensions.
