Yildiz O/U's ? Yes,no, maybe?

I have been O/U shopping for about a week, and find myself leaning towards a Yildiz. It seems like a well made, light weight, and not to mention good looking gun. Its at Academy for $599. They have another model just like it, but with less engraving for $399. Does anyone know if the engraving is the only difference on the 2 models. Keep in mind $600 is the upper limit of what I plan on spending unless I find a really good deal. The only negative thing I've seen is that recoil is considered harsh to some because of the light weight.

I had the $399 version in 20 gauge and never had a problem with it. I did refinish the wood with Tung oil just to dress it up and put a Limbsaver on it. I used it for sporting clays and shot it as well as any of my other guns. Well worth the money in my opinion.

Thanks! I have about decided on getting one.
