Default Slug gun scope

We've been using fixed 4X scopes on our dedicated slug guns. Accuracy is exceptional.
However at times I feel I might have made a better choice if I had gone with fixed 2X when I'm in "closer quarters", in fact, when I am in the thicker woods I usually grab a 12 gauge pump I have with rifled sights because the 4X's magnification makes getting on target quickly a little more difficult.

I am asking because if I switch to a 2X I know I believe I will have a larger view, but what will happen to my long shots around 100 yards? Is my accuracy going to go down too?

Who uses what set-ups & how do ya like them? If I'm going to make a change I need to figure if it's worth it & then get moving on it now.
