IMO as long as the 26" gun isn't muzzle light it doesn't matter. I did own one Fox 26" 16 gauge that weight 5 lb 10 ounces and it was very muzzlelight. Muzzlelight to the point I ended up selling it. It was a very good Woodcock gun for close quarters battling, but for a crossing 35 yard shot at grouse it was hard to control.
