I just finished making this same decision last month and

decided that the Gamo 1250 was over priced, when I found I could purchase a new Diana 350 Mag..22cal. for $299.00 USD from midsouthshooterssupply.com and my shipping was FREE. It had some Quality Control Issues which I posted on the YF main page (Jan. 12th,at 12;17 am). But nothing I couldn't handle in my home work shop and supplies. It's a Helluva strong gun and in the top tier power wise as are the 1250 and Webley and Kodiak genre. So far it chronies at 862fps with Beeman FTS 15.0gn to yield 24.8 FPE. It Chronies AT 900+ with 12.6 Silver Bears. Today with less than 100 pellets thru it, I am shooting 1.25 in. c-t-c five shot groups at a measured 45 yds.
