Well, there ya go. I am sure with the posts here it makes your decision much easier.
Actually, maybe it will as most are strongly for the Benelli. Let us know what you decide.
One thing I have heard others say about the Gold is that they run better dry also. In mine, there are certain points in the bolt area that must be lubricated, or things don't work right.

Just went head to head with a SBEII yesterday in a duck blind with my gold stalker 3.5". Cold rainy day in salt water. Dozens of shots fired. I couldn't believe how much more that SBE recoiled over my gold. We traded for a while. Of course neither had trouble.
