Its true O/U's are a lot faster because they have relatively no moving parts unlike an auto loader. But the one disadvantage I have noticed with the O/U's is that they can really catch the wind. I know that most trap ranges face north because wind is usually going north to south or south to north but hardly ever east to west or visa versa. But on those days with a very heavy cross wind my barrel seems to shake alot before I call for the rock. Once I start moving the gun to follow the rock it becomes smooth again but the shaking before I call for the rock seems to really change my rhythm and rhythm is everything. Because of this I prefer to shoot a gun with a single barrel.
Also much of trap shooting isn't about the quality of your gun. Of course quality of the gun can affect your scores somewhat but like the saying goes about the man with only one gun, the better you know your gun the more rocks you are going to break. CATMAN
