It pretty apparent you have never shot a .460. The difference of quality between the two brands compared to price is moot, especially in a hunting revolver. A P.C. .460 is every bit as accurate and reliable as any FA. I've shot both. The weight and size of a S&W X-Frame is there to make the shooting of it much more pleasant than similar calibers from smaller and light platforms. Shoot .454 out of a Ruger platform and then shoot the more [powerful .460 out of a simlar barrel length X-Frame. Then compare where the holes are on the target.
For a hunting revolver, one needs to practice and practice often. Having a firearm pleasant to shoot offers much more proficiency, regardless of how macho folks want to make of themselves. I am not here to make suggestions of what the OP should get, but I also am not going to try and belittle any one else's choices or suggestions. Grew outta that a long time ago. What I am going to suggest to the OP is to forget about this idea of a dedicated hunting revolver having to be "versatile". You don't need to be able to shoot 6 different calibers from any platform for it to be efficient on deer and hogs. You need it to be able to shoot one appropriate caliber very well. Does no good to practice with .45ACP when you are planning to hunt with .454. POI from POA is so radically different that you will just waste time and ammo adjusting sights. In order to become proficient enough to hunt with a big bore revolver you need to shoot your legitimate hunting ammo, every time you shoot it. Period. If you cannot afford to do it, or your wrist/hand can't handle it, you need to forget the whole idea. If you reload(which you almost have to do with the really big bores) you can download ammo if need be, but the cost difference is generally so minimal it won't make sense.
My suggestion to the OP, get what you want. If you can shoot it first, all the better. If you get something and are not happy with it, sell it and try something else. If you want folks to respect your choice, you need to respect the choices of others....or stay the 'ell off social media. There is way too much negative input on social media by the anti's, we don't need it from our fellow gun owners.
