Super 90... Super 90... Super 90...
I own 2... (Montefeltro (a sporting version) for me, and an M1 for my wife) The idea of a semi-shotty thrilled me, especially after my wife did a double-tap during a class with the Benelli. Man, her eyes were filled with lust... Woohoo!!! Anyway, I started to do research, counting what the owner of that M1(who was the instructor as well) mentioned about Benelli vs. Remington.
OK, what I found was that the sentiments that have been echoed so far seem to be about the case. The O-ring and added cleaning on the Remington, and the recoil on the Benelli. Note that the cleaning on a Benelli is simple. I can fire 500 rounds, and all I have to do is bore-rope the barrel 2 times, and wipe... let me make that clear... *wipe* the bolt off. No elbow grease, no fancy tear down, none of it.
Additionally, I was just reading a magazine a week or two ago, which compared shotguns for usage in Uraguay (like we are all headed down there next week)... Anyway, three ranges told to pick three guns. Remington was mentioned once, Beretta twice, but the thing that made me feel really good... Benelli was chosen by all 3 of them, and was the only one by all three.
Imbrog|io - My friend's m1 jammed so bad that he had to take the gun apart.

No offense Imbroglio, but I doubt it. I've had mine apart, and it's a simple design with attention to details. I could be wrong, but I couldn't see any way to jam that baby up that hard, short of a breakage. Even still, I've heard of mystery problems with every other gun out there as well.
