Straight grips are more prevalent on the higher grades. SG's were on 18% of the BH Damascus guns and 30% of the Acme barreled guns. It appears straight grips became more popular in the later years of production.

Personally I do not care for a straight grip and would pay more for a pistol grip with all else being equal. I have a handful but if it were not for some of the unique traits they possess I would have little interest. I may be in the minority but I am not alone

I just love straight grips, especially on smallbores. But then again, that's why they make chocolate and vanilla.

Up into the 1930s straight grips were the norm on trap and pigeon guns --

"Lite" beer is not an option. May as well drink H2O.
