Hey guys, I am sorry if this is a double post (or triple or quadruple..), but was wondering if it was worth getting a used 870 wingmaster super mag over a new 870 express super mag. I am getting my first shotgun, so I hope to get one that will oulast me. I know the two guns are practically the same internally, but is the 870 wingmaster worth the extra money?

I plan to use this as a general purpose gun; for small critters, deer, occasional waterfowl. And to me, looks aren't everything. An 870 express super mag synthetic is pretty enough for me. I can't really spend more than about $375, so that rules out a new wingmaster. I want a 3.5" gun, so please keep the info about these guns. If you know of a good, no great 3.5" gun, I'm all ears. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks for putting up with a newbie.
