They have great reviews, but I, like you, would like to hear from members here what their opinion is, what choke for TSS #9, and is it worth the difference in price from the matte black Affinity.....

So I got the Affinity Elite Timber and so far, like it much. I got a picatinny base and installed a Fastfire 3 on it. Zeroed in three rounds. With a Jebs .570, using Federal TSS #9s, my first round put 349 in a 10” circle at just under 40 yards. Even pattern with no “holes”. Should be a turkey takin machine. Light weight, and I like the cerakote/optifade Timber color. Wish it had a 24” barrel, but that’s just minor. I have a Sumtoy .562, a Carlson’s .575, and an Indian Creek .570 I may try - and then I may not....this Jebs combo is pretty awesome. If not, I’ll have some of these extra chokes for sale in the 20 gauge choke classifieds soon...
