First time shooter! Browning or Benelli?

[mforezli]

Hey I'm a new shooter and looking to buy my first 12 gauge. I've looked at a bunch of guns and have narrowed my choice down to the Browning BPS Hunter or Benelli SuperNova. I'm a lefty, and the BPS Hunter is supposed to be a good fit because of the bottom ejection and safety on top of the gun, but the sales associate at the gun counter said that there may be jamming issue with the bottom ejector if you cycle too quickly. I don't mind shells flying across my face, but the Supernova is a lot more $$$. Has anyone had any issues with the BPS Hunter? If so, I think I'll go with the Benelli, but a gun good for a southpaw would be nice. Any advice?
