I think the main reason I went with the Rem 870 over the Mos 500 was the feel and look of the stock. Even though I know the 870 has a laminate wood stock it still felt and IMO looked better than the Mos 500.
The higher price on the 870 didn't bother me so much because of the long history behind it and knowing that if I treat it well it will last me for a very long time.
