Lundinbridge,
I also have this problem. My dad just bought the Vinci and he loves it. I shot it a few times and loved it to. On the other hand my buddy has an SBE 2 and he loves it. Im mostly going to use mine for waterfowl so i dont know if I should go with the SBE 2 just because it can accomadate 3 1/2 inch shells. Even though the Vinci is a little odd looking it shoots amazing, I was pretty impressed. But I guess just shoot them both to really find out. I plan to do the same.
