Vinci vs Cordoba $?

Why is a Vivci selling for $1200-$1400 and a Cordoba selling for $1600-$1700. I own a 20 & 12 Corboba and believe it to be the finest autoloader ever made. I've never shot a Vinci but I've handled one and it didn't have the "feel" of a Cordoba. Is the market reflecting this or is the retail price based on the cost to manufacture each? Maybe it's a supply/demand thing? Most of the time the newest, latest, greatest gun in the line brings the highest price. But not with these two.

The Cordoba's here are selling for 1495.00. The gun is ported which add money to the pot.

 

Haven't seen or felt the Vinci yet. On gunbroker there going for 1295.00ish.

 

Maybe cheaper to make.

I agree! I tried the Vinci and it simply does not have the same "feel" as my Cordoba. Thus far I fail to see the advantages, if any, of the Vinci. Vince seemed "rear-end heavy" when pointed or swung. Maybe actually shooting one (difficult in a store) would change my mind...

I love the feel of the Vinci :)

 

Cost is a bit less than the Cordoba. It will probably take Benelli many years to turn a profit on the Vinci if new machinery was needed to make it's parts.

 

Knowing what I do about Italian manufacturers, I would guess that the end price is very much determined by the costs of the good required to make the item + freight & customs factors. Sure, some supply/demand comes into play, but with all the competition out there, a gun maker has to be careful to sell some guns along with all the hype :D
