Anson & Deeley Boxlock or Back Action Sidelock?

If price were no object which would you choose, the Anson & Deeley Boxlock or a Back Action Sidelock and why? What are the pros and cons of both these actions? The rifle will be a 500 NE. Any experiences would be great. I asked the Boxlock vs. Sidelock question earlier and was told that the boxlock was stronger...ie better. Talked to Butch and he said he has never had anyone bring a sidelock back with problems related to strength. In fact his personal rifle is a Sidelock. What do you guys think? I originally was going to go for a boxlock with faux sideplates, when I considered that it was only 2 grand more for the true Sidelock I decided on getting it on Butch's recomendation. Opinions? He hasn't started yet so not too late to change back. Also I think I am going to get his best quality option on the stock work. I wanted to get the whole best quality option but he informed me that it could not be done when I need it so I am going to bring it in at a later date for the best metalwork to be done. Does anyone have a Searcy Sidelock or better yet have both a Searcy Sidelock and a Searcy Boxlock?
