Will it be as good as the Bersa Thunder?

I'm curious about the quality of Bersa pistols. I have a Thunder .380 and it's a great little gunl. However, I have no exposure to their other pistols. Any thoughts?

Same here.  Have some experience with a Thunder .380, and although I did have some technical difficulties the first time at teh range with it, it turned out to be an awesome little gun.  Hope their polymer turns out good.
