Why not get the Xtrema2 from Beretta then? It will shoot the 3 1/2" loads. I'd choose the SBEII or the Xtrema2 if you are looking for a 3 1/2" gun. Leaning heavily towards the Beretta myself.

Edit: Oh yeah, don't skimp on price. Wait a bit longer to get what you want rather than what you can afford. You'll be happier that you did.
