Cheapest FF3 is $229 + tax, SBE2 + tax is about or slightly higher than $1600 so right off the bat your saving $ on tax,but ifn you could get it for a lil bit less clearly better off. One thing to consider is what kind of shape the gun and optics are in and HOW the FF3 is mounted( speedbead or weaver mount on top of receiver) and also the FACT that Benelli's keep their re-sale value very well.
