Fan of Browning Hi-Powers and both S&W and Colt revolvers
Are Manurhin revolvers in the same class as the Colt Python?
That's hard to say. From what little I know I'd say those two guns have different personalities. Manurhins are extremely well made, very reliable and very strong but some would say perhaps not as elegant or finely finished as a Python.
Maybe think high end Mercedes AMG vs one of the Italian luxury cars?

The 73 seem to have been replaced by the 88 for economical reasons, the do recieve the same in house treatment for excellency, according to readings.... JP.
Manurhins are definitely stronger than Pythons. Lots of info on this available. http://larvatus.livejournal.com/314242.html
They still make the MR73 I think. The MR 88 not a replacement, it is definitely the 'budget' model - but I bet it is still a pretty nice gun. I would take it over the ruger equivalent for sure.
This revolver sure is something different...
Made in France is awesome... JP.
Yes that is probably about right, but who knows with the exchange. Could be more I suppose. Used, ones in good shape have been going for $2500-3000. I did sooner pay that for the MR73 than a python. Bigger problem is availability. I hear there is an 18 month backlog in production.
