I have the same WD and have had it for about 4 years.
It is a great gun and shoot exceptionally well - as do
all of the ones I know of.
I also own a few English DR's and 3 x European DR's (2 Merkel's)
and so can do a direct comparisoon. The WD is both lighter and
better balanced than the other European DR's and in some cases
some of my English guns.

In regards to the beaver tail, being an Anglophile I am not a great fan
of them, HOWEVER, once I owned and shot the WD I realised how much
more comfortable it is to hold. (I wouldn't get one on an English Gun/DR
but I do like it on the WD !)

I don't think you can go wrong with them - they are well built and shoot well.

Hope this helps you in your decision.
