I have been using the SBE II for several years now. If I had it all to do over again I would get the Cordoba. I really like the porting, back boring, and the longer chamber forcing cone. These are great adaptations for less felt recoil and a quicker second shot.
The Cordoba would be a nicer gun on the shoulder.
It is noisier because of the ports but you should be wearing a set of Pro-Ears or some other electronic headphones.
