There should be a weight difference: the super magnum has to be heavier than the std 3" magnum. That would affect the recoil making the felt recoil of the 2 3/4" and 3" shells less in the super magnum. It could aslo affect your choice based on how much weight you want to carry in the field and how slow and heavy handling do you want in a shotgun. Jim
