From my perspective, more options equals better options, especially when they are coming from reputable makers. This is particularly the case where I have struggled to find a modern gun that really speaks to me. I have gone through a number of contemporary Browning O/U's (at least 2 Citoris, maybe 3, and a Cynergy) and a 686 SP, I didn't really care for any of them. The Citoris are too tall in the action, the 686 felt clunky, and the Cynergy was fine, but not the gazelle that I was expecting.
I recently shot a modern semi-auto (A400 platform) for the first time, which didn't do much for me either.
Is this the one for me? I don't know, but I am not put off by it in the least even if it seems a bit garish at a glance.
