I just have almost no interest in Tristar/Diana/Baikal/etc. I know people who have bought stuff from these companies and have been happy, but I'm not willing to spend money on something that is new and completely unknown.
I'll actually soften my stance a bit. A local gunshop now has a whole rack of SxS shotguns made in turkey I think. The actions felt a little too tight, but they pointed and balanced nicely. Some of the cheaper ones had plastic stocks that look like wood- kind of like the stocks on the cheaper Beretta semiautos, which Idon't like. I might now buy one in 20 guage- around $500 is about 1/4 the cost of a beretta or Browning SxS.
