That's why we have personal choice and each one of us will make a diffent one for perfectly proper reasons.

Search your heart and buy what you prefer. That is really the only criteria. However, your choice in 16-bore will be more limited - I'd buy a lightish (6lb 6oz) English 12-bore with 2 1/2" chambers and shoot a 1oz load.

As a previous poster said, a new AYA will halve in value in little time. Buy an English gun well and it will be worth what you paid for as long as you keep it.
