Among the skeeters I've competed with, I know of several who've gone from Brownings to Berettas, but never from a Beretta to a Browning. Unfortunately, to the less experienced shooter the differences may not be readily apparent.
IMHO, the Italian guns feel and handle better than the Japanese ones, YMMV. My buddy, BigJim, has a mess of Brownings that he likes, but he's not yet seen the light.
