i agree the benneli is a superior goose gun.
If you want to go a bit cheaper have a look at the mossberg 835. it shoots all 12g. ammo right up to the 3 1/2 'thumpers'. only bad thing is you cant fire slugs out of it becouse it has an over bored barel (10 g. proportions) the barrel is ported and so are the extended chokes. took mine out this past weekend to pattern it and to be totally honest all of the ammo i tried pattered pretty similarily (13 brands and lengths 2.75 too 3.5). i think this is due to the barrls larger bore. i absolutly love mine. cycles smooth, no jams- could use a better recoil pad, but those a guy could get anytime.
hope this helps, cheers.
