In general I agree. The one advantage with Lew Horton is the free "factory" provenance letter. Something S&W charges $75 for. So right there is a $75 value, if you care about such things. Some don't, but many find such items worthwhile.
For example, I was in a thread a few weeks ago with a newbie that was determined to letter a standard production S&W revolver that was less than two months old. I tried to persuade him otherwise, but he was convinced a factory letter would uncover some fascinating detail that years from now would add value for his future heirs... or something. A total waste of money IMO.
