The S&W top break was the tip of the sword in technology back then. The 1873 Cavalry SAA is a fine gun, too, but I'm partial to and believe the Smith & Wesson was the "finer" gun.
Under today's conditions and with all the accumulated knowledge,
I think anyone would be thrilled in firing either of them in a laboratory setting (that's a clean old regular range) if in comparable, excellent mechanical, conditions.
