Here are a few things to consider

I own both a 28 and a 20.

20 Ga shells are easier to find and are cheaper.
28 Ga rounds is twice the price of 12 Ga right now - reason I reload for my 28.

Both will shoot basically the same. Just less lead.

Th 28 gun may be lighter in wt

Now I shoot O&U's my Berreta 28 is 4.5 lbs and is oh so nice to carry int he grouse woodcock woods. Far better thatn the 20.

The 28 is a bit light on pheasnats though IMO. So I use the 20 and at times the 12.

But go look at the cost of shot shells and then decide.
