7 and 10 is not that heavy. About the same as a Superposed standard weight. You will enjoy that weight on the clays course, and everytime you pull the trigger on a real pheasant load.

The choke issue is a non-issue. Anyone with the coin to buy a Purdey can afford spreader loads one would hope! Home-rolled spreaders cost a whopping 2 cents more than standard shells, if you want to load your own. I've been known to shoot skeet with a modified/full Fox using spreaders and they do perform well.

Owning an extractor gun would not bother me one bit.

Buy it, just so we can see pix of it and your smiling face behind it.
