Shane,
I will only add that I have had 2 SBE II's. I have had no problems with them out in the flooded rice fields of northern Arkansas during duck season. My latest one is a 26" LH in Advantage Timber HD. The only complaint I have had is that Benelli does not make a 26" SBE II in Max-4. We have close to 35 people in our club. Most own Benelli's due to the reliability in harsh weather conditions.
I would suggest buying the Benelli. If you don't like it and decide to sell it. You won't be sitting on it long.
