Sorry I havent had a chance to read this, I was in Vegas since last week!

I honestly dont have any experience with these. I can tell you some caveats regarding the Mossberg 500 mag feed I bought though. 

We found that the Mossberg mag was very finicky when it came to ammo selection. 2 3/4  Federal was always golden but Fiocchi and several other brands would absolutely not feed period. 3" was a no go. Most brands wouldnt even fit into the mag because they are too wide. Personally, I like something with the flexibility to eat EVERYTHING!!!!

Having said that, I would absolutely spend $350 and below on anything just to try it out. Worst case scenario, you trade it in and lose $75-$100 and put it towards the purchase of something else. As soon as you get it, buy 7-10 different brands of 2 3/4" to 3" and run it to evaluate it.

If I had your money, :pardon:  I personally would buy either a:
https://www.beretta.com/en-us/1301-shotguns/
or
https://www.benelliusa.com/shotguns/m4-tactical-shotguns

I have the M4 and have added a bunch of aftermarket upgrades and it is the best shotgun weapon I've ever fired IMO. I'm told that the Beretta is as good in stock form at a lower cost. BTW, my future daughter in law shot the M4 and it didnt overpower her and she's maybe 115 lbs.

BTW, if you buy a foreign made shotty and wish to modify it, you MUST ensure you are 922R compliant. You have to read the 922R regs before you start buying ANYTHING! On my M4, I wound up modifying the 3 trigger components, the stock, the tube, the shell follower, bolt release, shell carrier, charge handle, and springs. Not everything I changed fell under 922R.

Or you could buy this bad boy and call it a day:
