So the SX3 is like the Browning Gold and the Maxus is a new design from Browning? All new to me as I haven't purchased a shotgun since my Benelli SBE back in 2001. I have some Belgium A-5 Brownings and a Remington 1100, which are all nice guns. I need(want) a light, compact 20 gauge autoloader. Been looking at Franchi and Benelli, but the Browning Silver Micro has a short length of pull and doesn't break the bank. One of Winchester SX3 models has a 14" length of pull.
