Craig you are of course correct in terms of original selling prices of a Fox A Grade and Parker GH. It is however my opinion that an A Grade Fox, especially those with the later engraving style(s), is the equivalent of a GH Parker in terms of style and beauty. Heck, even a Sterlingworth has the graceful lines of the action bosses that scream "Let's go shoot pigeons!"
I like both the Parker GH/EH and Fox A Grades but I think the Fox action "lines" make it an unfair competition in terms of style. Of course this is like admiring the beauty of female figures. Some like the svelte lines of a runway model, some long to hold a petite figure like Audrey Hepburn's, and other desire curves like Marilyn Monroe's! In the end we usually love the woman in our arms regardless of her figure.
