The only mechanical difference between the ADL and the others is that the ADL has a blind magazine. As far as accuracy or reliability it is really luck. You will probably find most to be about equal and you could get a bad example from any of them.

The SPS is the same budget gun, but with a floorplate. The BDL and CDL's are better finished with walnut stocks.

I actually like the ADL a little better. You save money, there is no floorplate to malfunction, they are lighter, and the stocks are stiffer which in theory helps accuracy. It takes about 5 seconds longer to unload your gun without a floorplate.
