Skeetx is right-on here. If your Brit SLE fits you well, then what you have is as close to perfection as most shotguns ever get IMHO. That being said, however, is one gun truly ever enough? As has been mentioned here earlier, sub-gauge guns are mandated for some hunting situations (mostly quail, mostly private) and perhaps by your own physical limitations. They are very-much indeed all the usual adjectives you hear (cute, light, quick, pretty, etc.) but they do not kill anywhere nearly as effectively as the venerable 12 gauge. I shoot a 16 on upland birds because it strikes an excellent balance for me in the weight/handling/lethality equation but... I know that there are 12s out there that would solve that equation equally well for me (and perhaps even slightly better?) if I devoted the time and resources to find them. It all boils down to time and resources.
