I like both. I own more with heavy barrels, but the few tapered barrels I have, or have in the past, owned were ones that I grew up with. A good example of this is the Model 10-5. This and earlier versions with the tapered barrel just look right to me because that is the way that I first remember them as a youngster. Nothing wrong with the heavy barrel model 10s, they just don't look right to me!
