I love mine. Never owned a Benelli, only because they cost a week's pay more than the SX3. At this point I wouldn't trade it even up for a Benelli.
The ONLY thing bad I have to say about the SX3 is that it has more recoil than my SX2. But it weighs about a pound less, too.
When I got my SX2 I purposely did not clean it just to see how long it would go before it hiccupped. It NEVER did. About year 7 or 8 I started feeling guilty and took it down and cleaned it. I have not had the SX3 that long. But I can only assume it will have the same incredible reliability as it's older brother.
