Well,
I've putted a few with several models at the local golf shop. I do like the Circa 62 models #1 and #2, as well as the old Coronados and my personal favorite, the Napa.
I've been putting with the same Anser 2 for 20 years now, and a Anser clone like the Newports is NOT what I am looking for....
But the problem is, the WEIGHT of the Scottys. They are just too light for me. I have a little bit of lead tape on my Ping, as I prefer a heavier feeling putter. The off the rack Scottys are far to light for me, and I can't imagine me shelling out $150-$200 bucks for a beat up Cameron, sending it off to the custom shop for a refinish, adding my three kids initials to the putter, getting a custom paint fill etc....
and then sticking lead tape on the darn thing. Yuck.
I believe 95% of the Cameron's out there are 330 gram heads. There are 350 gram heads out there, mostly from Japan and Far East Asia, but they are hard to come by from what I am seeing on The Cameron Collector Boards and The Bay. Some of the Circle T's are heavier as well.... but I'm not paying triple the price because of a Circle T. I would have gamed my putter from the moment it was delivered.
So... The Ping it is.
And I LOVED the idea of the kids initials on my putter. Two boys and a girl.. and a blue and pink color scheme would have been really great.
