I do not see a need for the 3 1/2" shells personally, so I do not see this as a problem. I use 3" shells for turkey and waterfowl so I like the ability to shoot both 2 3/4" as well as 3" in the same gun which all 870's made for at least 15 years or so will handle.
I like the 26" barrels better as an all purpose length and could use a 28" but feel 30" is just too long for me. I am in the minority on this but that is what feel best to me.
