Default Benelli 22LR target pistols? Others?

I don't compete but I want an Olympic style semi-auto 22LR match target pistol to add to my collection. I want something the next step above my S&W Model 41.

In looking at Larry Guns web page I see he stocks Benelli pistols. Interestingly they are 1/2 to 1/3 the price of a Pardini or a Walther or a Hammerli. What's the story? Are they really a step above my S&W Model 41 (which has a list price 1 1/2 times more than a MP95!)?????

What can you expect from them accuracy wise and for feeding and functioning reliablity?

The models there are the MP90S and MP95 (in 22 lR). The MP90S looks really good to me at only a bit more than the Model 41 list price and perhaps half that of any of the Wathers, Pardini's, or Hammerli's.

My choices are limited in CA due to the limited number of Olympic Pistols on the CA exemption list. Only those on the list are exempt from the safety ceritfication process. There are some of each of those listed above but the detailed list is:

Anyone got some comments? Thanks in advance for anyone who may help.
