I'd try out the Browning and Ithaca and see which one feels best. They are, in essence, the same internally both being based on the same patents. I like the Ithaca because it feels better and is cheaper used. One problem all bottom-eject guns have is when shooting trap. You have to load the magazine first and then crank the round in. Small inconvenience.

I'll echo what was said about bottom-ejecting being superior to left ejection. The statement was made that a righty might have to use the gun or want to borrow it. That's not possible with the Lefty guns. Also, if you did ever have to sell it you are losing about 80% of your possible market.
