I just spent a few days in a duck hunting camp with about 25 other hunters. These were fellows that do not worry about price tags when they buy a gun (or car). The Benelli SBE II was the most carried gun, followed by Remington autoloaders and 870 pumps. There were no other shotguns used.
If you are open to an 870 it would be worth giving it serious consideration. If not, the Benelli pump would probably be a good choice.
