Ripper,
You made an excellent choice. Once you get the long gun and start comparing it to the others you'll feel the quality put into thte gun. True, the recoil is a bit more due to its slightly lighter weight as NJW stated but the handling is also slightly faster to get on target.
In pump mode, it feels and even sounds (pumping the action) way better then the 590. Don't get me wrong, I like my 590s, they are exceptional values (i.e., low cost). The Bens are just of considerably higher quality. Hope you don't go down my path, though. Once I bought my first M3, I had to get more and that gets pretty expensive.
