RE: Beretta vs. Bennelli
For me that would be like making a choice between two sons. They are both fantastic semi-auto. Most of my collection is now either Benelli or Beretta. Handles makes a great point about cleaning. The Beretta will need more attention. I personally like cleaning my firearms but not after everytime I use one. That is why I got rid of my Browning Gold Hunter as a duck gun. A little dampness or mud and that baby was useless for a second shot.
Good luck, you can' t go wrong either way.
