I have no first-hand insight or even just opinion to offer.
However, I would counsel against categorical quality pronouncements based on formalities. Resale value, based on people's subjective perceptions, is a different story. More desirable is not the same as better.
There are people who dogmatically believe that quality took a nose-dive when the 5th screw and then the 4th screw were sacrificed, a view not really tethered to observable reality.
So be sure you listen to people with actual experience or better yet, compare guns yourself.
