I have all three tubes for my SBE II and have been happy with the performance.
I use the long range extended pattern master designed for 3.5 inch shells for Geese and I use the midrange tube for all duck shooting. I found the short range to give too open of a pattern with the 3.5 shells. I use 3.5 Steel 2's for ducks and like to put as much steel into the bird as I can, therefore tighter chokes. I need to pattern the Pattern Masters vs the Factory Mod and see what I get.
