As far as price goes, I can kinda understand the difference from a business perspective (using Wilson parts, the marketing power of the Wilson brand, and the business it brought to Beretta) but from a practical perspective, I think you're getting a much better deal for the price of the LTT and Ernest Langdon is going to be big-time marketing power in keeping the 92 a desired pistol.
As for choosing one or the other, I think it has to do with preference more than anything. If one likes/wants a brigadier, then the Wilson gun is the way to go. If one wants a Centurion (I LOVE mine!) then the Wilson is a great option. As for me, I like the brigadier but I like the M9A1 better so given the choice between the two I'll take the LTT. To top it all off, I REALLY want to feel the LTT in the hand with the contouring of the mag-release area because that may be another big point in it's favor, especially for someone like me that can't modify the frame of a duty gun.
It's a good time to be a Beretta fan... Maybe the best time since around '85!
How is $999 (LTT) close to $1195 (Brig Tac) and $1250 (Centurion)? That's basically a $200 and $250 gap. You can get a LTT with a trigger job for $1164, and still have enough for a steak dinner before you hit Wilson's $1195 non action tuned pricing.
Wilson has been making the Brig Tac for a few years, so there are 1000s out there now. If the LTT is a 1 year run, or limited run, how do you know its future value?

If placing a pre-order, are you all running cards right away or when shipping? (I've got two SIG/SAN rifles to pay for at around the same time the LTT ships)
| 92 Centennial x 2 | 92-Stock Competition | 92 Combat x 2 |
| 92 Brigadier Tactical | 92G-SD | 92 Elite II in 9mm, 9x21 and 357SIG |
| CZ SP01 Shadow | CZ P-01 in ODG | CZ-97 | Walther P5 |
| SIG/SAN 553R | SIG/SAN 553-Diopter | SIG/SAN 551-2 SP SWAT |
I’ll be getting one of these in the Fall as a graduation gift. Can’t wait.
