I have been comparing both guns at a local shop, The 2000 does have a better feel to it for me. I do like the 3.5 but dont really need it. Im mainly gonna use it for turkeys but also for dove season just to get comfy with it, a lil duck hunting just woodies here in flooded timber, nothing major.and maybe some deer with slugs inside 40yds.
Holding it and the SBE2 are so simular. I could afford the SBE2 but just cant spend that much on a single gun!
