Definitely the Parker. I have both. There is no doubt the 23s are well fit and finished, but they don't have the aesthetics of the Parker - more akin to a Browning in my mind. The Parker fits me better, is a tad lighter, and comes in a wider range of configurations. The wood on the 23s is of a more consistent figure, but if you aren't in a hurry you can find a Parker with wood that really pops.
