Re: Westley Richards more popular in United States?

The biggest thing I observed is that Holland & Holland has it's North American showroom in New York City. Westley Richards has it's American showroom in Montana. Just seems a little more central to me in both physical placement as well as attitude. While there is some very serious money in Montana it sure isn't Manhattan with it's blue blood attitude. More down to Earth.
Did Westley Richards make a company decision to go after the North American shooter years ago? Or is Westley Richards just not as aristocratic in it's outlook as Holland & Holland?
Just curious.
Based on what I know, W/R moved from their previous office in southeastern US to Montana as a result of corporate restructuring and other "family" issues...
As to more popular, a W/R can typically be had for a much lower price than the H&H's and therefore are more readily affordable to more of the population..IMHO..
