Default looking for feedback on benelli super vinci or beretta a400

i am considering buying this gun, i have been doing a lot of reading about it.
i have 2 pump actions and am wanting to get a semi.

it will be used for everything from geese to clays.
i currently have a mosberg 535 and a winchester model 1300. the mosberg is recently new to me. the winchester i have had for 10 years. both in 12 gauge.

i have read that people having problems using lighter loads. but the min recomended by benelli is 1 1/8 oz loads on the super vinci. i think the people having issues are using lighter than recomended loads.
the 3" vinci min rec load is 1 oz

i have a friend who is very happy with his super black eagle II

is the 3.5" gun worth the extra $200 or should i stick to the 3" regular vinci

the reason i am leaning to this gun over the beretta xtrema is the ease of cleaning and low maintainance. plus i like the way the benelli looks.

does any one have experiance with either of these guns and what are the positives and negitives.

or any other advise
thanks

Can't comment on the Super Vinci but I do own the Vinci and I had 2 jams in the first 200 shots fired and nothing since. It is a great gun and I would not hesitate trading up to the Super Vinci.

i went in to bass pro shop, and was checking out the guns.
i looked at the benelli super vinci, beretta a400 and the a391

the a391 was on clearance.
the berettas feel a little nicer grip wise. i like the look of the a400 and vinci.
i was doing so reading and many people are saying that the vinci kicks harder than beretta. being a semiauto they all will kick less than my pump actions.
i dont really like the look of the a391, but it is 1/3 cheaper. the kick off system on the a391 seems like it would rip

i am still undecided which gun to get
