Sorry I never got back to this, been busy the last week or so.
Thank you all for your comments on the new gun. I personally find it a visually appealing shotgun and everything I have seen in print and here on the post confirm what I had hoped.
Josh, thanks for the comments on the barrel length vs weight. I prefer a 26" bbl for the thicker stuff in northern MI and here in PA but will have to take that into consideration when I investigate them further.
