My quail gun for the past two years has been a 30" Spanish double 12 gauge. I shoot skeet a couple of times a week with a 32" K-80 with full length tubes. I acquired a 28 ga Ugartechea this summer and was looking forward to hunting with it. I shot it well at skeet despite a choking of .009 and .025. I did OK with it one day during dove season. When quail hunting it seemed almost disjointed when I threw it up. After hunting with it for two days I went back to the heavier 12 ga and seemed to do much better. I don't think that it was entirely due to the smaller gauge either. The 12 just seemed to come up a lot smoother and get on target with less effort.
