I wouldn't say a 590-A1 is more well rounded... It is simply the "mil. Spec." version... It has the metal safety tab and compressed metal filings trigger group neither of which, in the plastic material, has ever failed me...
It has a thicker barrel making it heavier and more forward weight balance.
It may have the heavier mag spring and should have a metal shell follower too.
You will have fewer barrel options for the 7+ round versions... You are limited on barrel length too... I do not think a 18 inch barrel is long enuff to support the 7 round mag tube but I might be wrong.
Personally I prefer the ease of maint. with polished bluing so the 590 is not for me...
And the funny part... Folks are paying a premium to let the factory skip manufacturing steps leaving rough barrels dipped in bluing which will rust with a quickness compared to polished metal under smooth bluing.
