Maybe yes, maybe no. Barrel length per se is not an absolute predictor of gun balance. Design and varying thickness of the barrels could conceivably result in 26" and 32" barrels balancing the same. More likely, the 32" barrels steady the swing on more predictable waterfowl shots, while the 26" come up quicker for quail...same gun, with different balance for different game. Sounds good to me!
