Same situation here except lead shot will be legal to use longer. I will buy what I described because I can buy American, Mexican or European light game loads at country store and choke combo is very useful Mod-IC.
Similar reasoning led me to buy my Greener Empire with 3inch chambers, although the weight distribution is further forward than a dedicated game gun with bismuth shot it’s a great wildfowling gun, and the heavier barrels do keep the swing going on longer shots.No shortage of shorter two and half inch game cartridges here but they are not widely available at clay shooting grounds compared to two and three quarter inch shells so two and three quarter inch Birmingham ,or anywhere , boxlocks combine nice handling with more convenient ammunition availability.
