Ok, I'll give it ago.
I have owned M2 Benelli, Beretta xtrema and Urika.
For me the xtrema was too big a gun, the Urika overly complicated/engineered and a bitch to clean compared, and the Benelli, well I just didn't like it.
So I bought a Maxus before last duck season, never been happier with a shotgun,easy to completely dismantle [ I know this as I dropped it in the river], and clean ,takes 5 x 2&3/4shells. 4 x 3"
As you say each has his favourites, that's mine.
