And Dean, you would get a $2000 rifle with a plastic stock that may or may not feed from a magazine. I have seen two NULAs that didn't feed from a magazine.
I value Coopers for their wood stocks. I have two LH 452s (American and Lux), a LH 1416, and three LH Coopers. All are nice, but the Coopers are in their own class.
I also have a RH Cooper with a plastic stock and while top notch, I bought it because it also came with a nice wood stock. I would not spend $2K on a Cooper with a plastic stock. Actually, I wouldn't spend $2K on ANY gun with a plastic stock.
The OP has likely moved on, but I also agree that the 1416L is the value leader now that the LH452 is history...Tom
