2002 Benelli SBE Value

[Rex]

I have an opportunity to buy a mint condition SBE in matte black made in 2002 for $1,000. The gun was only used on one hunting trip. I will use it for waterfowl hunting. I don't want to spend over $1,000 and the alternative to buying this Benelli is a brand new Winchester SX4 Waterfowl edition which is the highest rated, has latest technology and is in my price range. 

Does it make sense to buy a shotgun that is 21 years old verses buying a new one that is around the same price?

Rex, you should consider the Franchi Affinity 3 for about 850.00, for many reasons this would be a excellent choice

I did consider it but I'm keep coming around to the SX4.
