[Super Sport - good or bad?]

I have seen conflicting reports on the Benelli Super Sport...the reviews I have read lean toward the good while the owner comments I have seen lean to the bad.

[Found a used SS today - good deal or no deal?]

I've been looking for a good gun to shoot clay pigeons with (not quite into trap or skeet yet, just out at the range hitting targets right now - also not into hunting) and I came across a used Super Sport today in really like new condition for $979 (all original accessories included). Is this a good deal? I've been doing some research since I got home and have read both good and bad about the SS. Are there any major problems with the SS I should be aware of? I am a female and am somewhat concerned about recoil, but I have tried my husband's M2 and it didn't bother me nearly as much as the Beretta Teknys I tried. I've also been looking at a Remington 1100, but love the looks of the SS. I would appreciate any thoughts.
