Default Reminton CDL vs. Browning A-Bolt Medallion

I'm posting this out of interest from some of the responses in the "X Bolt vs. 700" post that's on it's 4th page now.

I'm in the midst of making my final decision between a CDL and a Medallion.

I'm a lefty, so the X-Bolt isn't an option yet.

I've found a A-Bolt Medallion and a 700 CDL both in left handed models and both in the caliber I want.

I think I would be pretty happy with either, but I would sure luke to hear some pro's and con's on both.

So far, the only negative on the CDL I've heard was that Remmy's have a poor extractor. I've been told a gunsmith can convert it pretty easily to a Sako style extractor.

I haven't really heard much negative about the Medallion other than it having fewer aftermarket parts if I ever wanted to customize the rifle.

Both the CDL and Medallion are about the same price, so anything you folks can think of to help me pick between the 2 would be welcomed
