Lundinbridge,
I also have this problem. My dad just bought the Vinci and he loves it. I shot it a few times and loved it to. On the other hand my buddy has an SBE 2 and he loves it. Im mostly going to use mine for waterfowl so i dont know if I should go with the SBE 2 just because it can accomadate 3 1/2 inch shells. Even though the Vinci is a little odd looking it shoots amazing, I was pretty impressed. But I guess just shoot them both to really find out. I plan to do the same.

There you answer. I have never had the need for a 3 1/2" shell. It is a different looking gun but I like the fact that it breaks down into 3 pieces.

The 3-1/2 will retain value better than the 3", and, if you do decide to do a bunch of snow goose and lateseason canadas, you may well start using 3-1/2, just to push up pellet count in your shots
And, the SBE is a high grade weapon, if it fits you.

I have over 500 rounds shot in the Vinci that I own and Love it. It a piece of equipment , a utility fire arm . If you want a Mona Lisa buy a engraved Beretta or $100,000 British side by side. To each his own , Mossburg or Remingtom pump does just as good . And yes I still shoot both of them too.
