I agree you need both. I like the vintage look and functionality of the LOM. But as a display or ease in actually viewing the gun, the takedown case is the better choice. If I were shipping a gun, I think the takedown would also be the better choice. If I had to choose one, it would be takedown.

I have both in use currently. The Parkers in the LOM cases I seldom look at. The three I have in take down cases sit on top of my desk most of the time and I open them frequently. I like them both, but for actually getting a look at the gun the break down cases are more convenient.

I have both,
I find myself using the takedown (although they both require taking the gun down) more than the LOM. For me it is easier to put a gun in or take it out of the case and the takedown case is a more stable place to set an assembled gun in the end, its just personal preference -

By takedown, I assume you mean a trunk case? Since technically an LOM would also be a takedown case.

Trunk or mutton are the options. Yeah, I got to work on nomenclature!

I would also recommend both. The trunk case for display and storage in the gun room but the LOM for transporting to and from hunts or shoots. I would never recommend storing a nice double in a closed LOM for long periods of time for the simple fact that a lot of the old LOMs have cotton cloth lining and can hold moisture and promote rust.
