I would try to "feel" or better yet, shoot the 1100 and 1187 to see which you like better. The balance was different for me whan I picked them up, but it was a long time ago.
1100's are marketed as target type guns, mostly, and 1187's as hunting.
Many people feel the Beretta is a better auto. It is a better design no doubt, but I'd still pick the one that feels best to you.
Have fun.
