If you're talking 20ga to 20ga, that's true. It's the Repro 28 that brings much bigger bucks. Although I like Repros in general, I'm not a fan of the 20ga. Too heavy. The only reason I have one is because it also has a set of 16ga barrels. As a 20ga, with 26" barrels, it weighs 6/10. Put on the 28" 16ga barrels and it loses a quarter of a pound. On the other hand, the 12's and the 28's--IMO--weigh about what they should.
