Are you familiar with the graded 1894's? The workmanship is outstanding and it could be argued the engraving is better i.e. no flying turnips.

No, I'm not. Except for one Remington BE grade 1894, my experience is limited to the 1900 K grades and 1894 A grades.
I was comparing my K grade Remingtons to my Parker Trojans and my A grade Remingtons to my VH Parkers. While the Remingtons were very good guns, I feel that the Parkers were built better in the lower grades. There was almost no engraving on those models, so there was nothing to compare in that respect.
