Default New Turkey Gun?

I am planning on buying a new turkey gun this summer and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on which gun to buy. I have looked at the new Mossberg 935, and have plenty of luck out of the old 835, as well as a Remington 870.

Remington has made some great advances with their super full turkey chokes. My brother in law took two in the fall with a new Heavy shot choke. We put up some paper to see the paterns, and they were just about the most dense I've seen.
