Folk that shoot them only a little (e.g. CAS matches 4-5 times a year, or a couple of blasts off the back porch on occasion) tend to think OK of them - they're inexpensive and they pretty much put pellets downrange. Folk that are more critical users tend not to think as well of them. It's easy to read that and think 'ah, snobby', but it's not meant to convey that at all. Some folk use their shotguns a lot (sport or hunting or SD/HD training) and are therefore more demanding of gun performance and/or reliability than others that only want an occasional-use shotgun. The Stoeger will appeal to the latter, but not to the former.
I've owned a Coach and a Condor; both basically worked, but I sold both when it became clear to me that they had some basic material and manufacture shortcuts. Neither would pattern well between barrels; this may not matter much for 10yd CAS stationary targets, but lack of reasonable barrel convergence is a dealbreaker for a field gun. Both had very rough metal that caused functional glitches. The Condor, in particular, had extraction issues that required a rat tail file to clean out the flashing from the extractor tunnel. Both required polishing of the chambers to reliably extract steel-base promo hull ammo (e.g. the stuff that you buy at Walmart).
So it really depends on what you want out of the gun. If you want a cheap gun to try CAS with - it's probably worth it. If you want something that you can use in anger or in the field, then I'd probably look elsewhere.
