Hulgu make some very nice ones reasonably priced with interchangeable chokes but only one trigger. Sxs is a limited market now a days so new they are expensive compared to an ou. An skb 200 or 300 e would be a cracker if you could find one second hand.
They are faster on the reload and I find they point better than an uppie downie when thrown to the shoulder for snap shooting flushed game.
28 inch is plenty, could even be shorter if you want. Long barrels really add nothing to effectiveness .
