Ithacas do tend to be undervalued, the only reason I can think of is that the cosmetics are often not as gracefull to most people.
The only concern I know of for a Flues is the issue with the frame cracking from the abuse of too many modern heavy loads- this was mostly experienced in smaller bores and the pre 1919/20 made guns. A solid American double at that price would seem to be a good deal to me.
