punchout

I've read the many threads on here about the cordoba and m2..Unfortunately, I am still confused as to which gun will better suit my needs. I will likely spend most of my time at the range or out light bird huntin. After reading a few posts it seems like the cordoba would be the crossover gun of choice. However, the cordoba is roughly 30-40% more expensive than the m2...! It seems to me that the major difference is a ported barrel and extended chokes. Is there something else I am missing that makes the extra roughly $300 worthwhile? Thanks in advance for your opinions.
