I can see where a guy may prefer a larger bore and have no qualms with that. Heck, I've picked up a 12g on occasion in the last few yrs. Some of my favorite guns are 12g. But if a guy is looking for a bit more challenge in his shooting that may be 'routine' or not so rewarding, picking up a small bore adds something only the shooter of one will appreciate. And no, a 16g is not a 'small bore' in my book.
A .410 isn't for everyone's hunting nor for every hunting situation, IMO, although I've seen where one friend has made it his only hunting(upland) gauge, for dove, quail, chukar, grouse and pheasant. He can afford all the KFC he wants, so this isn't about limiting or eating, but about hunting.
