Basically the only difference between the Nova and the Super Nova is the Comfortech recoil system. I have two nephews that shoot Novas and one actually traded a Nova for a Super Nova. I'm not sure why, but anyway. Those two guys and another guy that I hunt with shoots a Nova and they all seem to like them. I don't have a Nova, but I love my Benelli. I would say that if the Novas feel comfortable to you it should be a good gun for ya. If not, there are plenty of other good pump guns on the market to get your hands on.
