Need big help on deciding shotgun?

In 1 week im buying either a Winchester sx3 or a sbe 2. Just got back from cabelas and looked at both I've heard alot of good things about the sx3 but it felt extreamly cheap the barrel seemed like it couldent even Handel 200 rounds it felt like a rain pipe everything about it just seemed cheap the barrel stock action trigger the whole 9 yards.the sbe 2 had a good feel to it except that it was so friggin lite I'm not afraid of kick watsoever but man a 3 and a half inch mag out of that is sure to wake u up plus I've heard it don't recycle 2 and three quarters to good witch I shoot alot of. So please help me out and please no other gun suggestion like brownings or berretas just the ones

I own both a SBEII and a benelli cordoba 20 ga. I have put more than 3,000 rounds through the cordoba without cleaning with not one misfire. The SBE has had about 1,000 rounds through it and not one misfire. probably 50% of the shooting the SBE has done was with 2 3/4" 7/8oz AA loads. It will cycle with anything. I know SX3's are great guns but, there is no way a gas operated autoloader can compete with benelli's interia driven action. If you drop a benelli in the lake, it will shoot. The only other auto I have seen come close to the reliability of the benelli is a beretta extrema. If you are gonna do hardcore hunting, down and dirty get the benelli. if you want to baby the gun, get a gas operator. Also the new comfort tech stock on the SBE really helps with recoil, why does anyone need to shoot 3.5's anyways?
