Default Opinions wanted on Browning BPS!

I own a Remington 870 that I use for birds and rabbits, and it has always done a fine job. No problems, easy to clean, lots of available parts to change, upgrade, or repair if needed. In short, a fine and versatile shotgun.
However, because I shoot left-handed, it has always been a minor inconvenience that it ejects to the right, and the slide release is on the right.
I am thinking about buying a Browning BPS because it will solve both of these issues. (And no, I can't just get a left-handed 870, because I am looking for a short-barreled quail and rabbit gun, and the only LH 870's you can get are 26" and 28" barrels.)
Has anyone out there owned both an 870 and a BPS that can give me their thoughts about the two guns compared to each other?
Also, I know the BPS has been around a long time, but I have never heard much about its reliability. Any BPS owners with good or bad stories to tell?
Thanks,
Allen
