I have fondled one a few times at the gun shop but have not shot one. I talked to a guy who had one and said it shot great. Personally I am just not crazy about the looks and the design. I look at double guns as a more traditional gun. That being said I have shot my share of Benelli autos and they were all great. The 828u feels very well balanced and is adjustable to help with fit. I say go with which ever one feels better and fits better to you. You really can't go wrong with any of the "B" shotguns (Benelli, Browning, Beretta).
