QUOTE I was going to buy a second hand English double but decided against it. I didn't want some other persons problems."

That's a very general and broad sweeping statement and of 30+
I own, have owned, only 1 has a problem (loose rib) and I knew about it before I bought it.

I'd stack a lot of my English DR's up against any modern double for accuracy.
