[Is an SBE 1 really better than Franchi?]

I have a decision to make. I have it narrowed down to a used SBE 1, 26" barrel......or a new Franchi I-12. Price being equal....why would I want a used SBE over a new I-12??? What are the differences?

[M1 super 90 or Franchi I-12?]

I am debating between a used M1 Super 90....synthetic, 26", one choke, not sure how old but looks in decent shape.....or a new Franchi I-12, 28", camo. I'mleaning toward new......what do you think? Concerns to look for?
