Ifn you have the money and it's what you want then get it!!! Flip side...buy the stock M2 and have quite a bit of money left over for ammo,perhaps a Burris FF3 (that you don't have to take off to install a new battery) instead of the FF2 that's on it ,and a slew of choke tubes. In the end, I think it's a crapshoot that the performance shop edition will shoot any better than a stock M2.
