Your thoughts on these or other options?

I would look at Franchi 48AL self-loader, but sometimes......
small "miracles" happen. Some time ago I walked into local Gander Mountain to find 26" 28ga Orvis 'Uplander' (Sakaba 500) with straight grip stock and leather covered pad (surprisingly expensive feature) for KOOL $550.

Not long ago I walked into little used 26" Sakaba 100 20ga choked 1/4-3/4 for $750 and had it on hold for few days. When I took it off hold there was another
tag 'call me at.....if the gun is not purchased Mr. Thompson'. Thompson got SKB I got RGL,
