Yours is a decision that cannot be quantified and cannot be made rationally. It's an emotional choice. Make that choice yourself. Don't rely on borrowed opinions...

Thanks for the thoughts. I'm having fun with the discussion...I'm not here to follow blindly what others say. I do appreciate your idea and input. We're here on this board to talk about doubles, and I wanted to get some ideas and input for the sake of discussion and banter. I'd go to the bar and start the same topic, but everyone at my bar would say "Remington 870 or Nothing!"..hahaha
