Indeed, that's true Jent, but with the more open chokes I'd be more likely to be carrying the gun a far distance or shooting in heavy cover, which would make the shorter, lighter barrels nicer.

I will say I have shot 26 or 28 inch barrels my entire life, but recently have come into a few 30" barrel guns and I really like shooting them. The 32" barrels still feel a bit unwieldy.
