The SBE3 is simply a facelift of an existing design. There is nothing wrong with it. It is a Benelli--well made, durable, sometimes indestructible, Italian, and always overpriced. Whether it is worth the money is up to each buyer.
The Remington V3 is the only "new" design for an autoloader that has emerged in the past couple of introduction cycles. It seems to be doing well and will probably change autoloader expectations.
