Opinions on 20g - Franchi Affinity 3 or Mossberg SA20 Tactical Turkey? Other?

Thanks all for the feedback.  According to their website, the Mossberg SA-20 Tactical Turkey w/ pistol grip has a length of pull of 12.75", vs the standard stock length of pull of 14.25".  I want a pistol grip and that LOP is way too short for me.  The Franchi is 14.375".   Between the LOP and the opinions of this site and another site, the Franchi wins.  Now I just have to convince the boss that I NEED to spend $950!

Great mantra but you don't know my wife!  She's a former accountant and runs a tight ship.

DIVORCE attorneys like it when you ask for forgiveness also??? Go with permission!!! Or she might own that gun later!

I bought the Franchi and have had a lot of problems. The first one was sent back for a refund and the second had to be sent in to their gunsmith for repair. It seems to be working for now but I don't trust it and will never own another Franchi. I wish I would have bought the Mossberg!! The Franchi kicks more than expected for a 20 gauge due to the inerita system (which I think is junk) and the Mossberg is lighter as well.
