K, Like Canvasback I own other SXS gauges, 12x2, 20x2, 24x1, but 16 is my dominate and favored gauge with 7 SXS 16s in the cabinet.

Over the years I have brought, traded, and sold about about 35 other 16s and 3 12 gauges not including the ones on hand now; almost all of which were low end field grade stuff.

Once you have gotten used to 16 gauge guns as your primary the rest seem to fall off in use. Not to mention once you are heavily invested in reloading 16 gauge and in stocking 16 gauge ammo.

I do not believe any is inherently better than the other when used within its limitations, I am just use 16 the most and am therefore most comfortable with it.
