Thumbs down Strange, Buying a Luger vs. other guns.

I scratch my head why I would almost readily spend $1,500 for a nice Luger in that price range, But hesitate when looking to buy other firearms. I have wanted to have another Uberti single action in 45LC ( rats sold the one I had couple years back) they run around $550 on Gunbroker. I think the are the best Colt clones made. Also a Henry "Big Boy" in 45 LC. about $800. So why would I hesitate spending $1,350 on those to guns and would enjoy shooting them, yet buy a Luger for $1,500 that most likely I will do little shooting with. I think Lugers in general sure make one more willing to open up ones wallet faster. Though looking at asking prices for Lugers on GB or other sites ( not to mention gun/pawn shops) $1,500 only buys a mismatched shooter, or matching in rough shape. Now Luger vs. Colt 1873 and Henry Big Boy? Leaning toward those, but maybe there is another Luger around the corner!!
