I have a Bobwhite in 28 ga. and like it a lot. For the money they are hard to beat and come with a five year warranty. I also have a DeHaan equivalent of the Bobwhite called an SO in 16ga/28". At a bit over 7# it's a bit on the heavy side but the balance is so nice that I don't even notice it. Overall, the DeHaan offers a better wood (typically) and is a bit more refined, IMO. Good luck with your decision.
