I was just in your position with those two guns but I also had the Browning Maxus and the Vinci on my list as well. After a really long rather drawn out process I went with the Vinci. It's ugly, functional, simple and handles better than any other ones I tried.
I originally went out to get the Benelli SBE II then I saw the Maxus hunter but I needed to buy a gun where it wasn't going to kill me if it got dinged up. The Maxus was very very nice looking aesthetically and feels very nice as well, it was a close second.
