Personally, I like the lines of the 16 and 20 gauge SXSs much more than the 10 and 12 gauge SXSs. However, I was thrilled when I found an extremely lightweight 12 gauge SXS last January. Since I dont reload, it was wonderful to finally have a gun that (1) abundant types of ammo was available for (2) I didnt have to pay a 16 gauge surcharge for my ammo. I still think my former 16 gauge go-to field gun is a better looking gun though it's very similar to my new-to-me 12 gauge.
