Still, I think the cleanliness aspect is not that big a deal- I can't imagine a situation where you'd be putting hundreds upon hundreds of rounds through a shotgun without being able to strip it down and wipe the worst of the crud out of the gas system.

Those of us who shoot targets will do exactly that - put hundreds and hundreds of rounds through it in a single day
If the weight of the guns are the same and the ammo is as well, the actual recoil will be the same. However, the felt, or perceived, recoil will not. The gas gun spreads the recoil pulse over a longer period, making it feel softer. Perception becomes reality when you need that second quick shot.
There have been discussions here and elsewhere about the Benelli's ability to digest light target loads. The consensus of most of the opinions offered, based on those authors' experiences, seem to suggest the Benelli has a hard time with light, soft loads while the gas gun does not.
BigJimP has more experience with Benellis. Perhaps he'll chime in
