I don't believe the Hallowell links speak about of the same guns, the actually Franchi O/U double rifle called Xpress entered in production in 2012-2013.
About the Xpress, I have the same opinions of other Italian double rifle of reasonable price that is take a second hand double of higher quality at the same price.
I attach you a test made by some Italian journalist about it but pay attention often the rifle reviews in Italy are strongly addressed by the rifle maker:
