Can't go wrong with either one. It comes down to which one feels better and gas or inertia

Beretta Xtrema no doubt, Beretta owns Benelli, been shooting a Xtrema for 5 years with no problems, 3 1/2 goose load to skeet shot no problem.

Love my Vinci. But like mcnabb said. Whatever fits u. When I bought mine I tried the berettas and the benellis. The Vinci was a lot lighter and fit better. Also like the fact the the spring is in the chamber and not the stock. Try them all and get what fits u best.

When I bought my Super Vinci, I looked at A400 and Maxus too. All great guns. Just been shooting Benellis for about 12 years now, and the Super Vinci felt the best to me. A400 is nice but I just don't like the way it feels. Guy was trying to push an A400 on me cause if they sell 10 they get a free one. But I never liked the way a Beretta felt. (forearm is bulky and feels front heavy) Weight in Vinci is distributed more evenly and it is the lightest of the 3. Guy told me they have still been having issues with the Maxus, but I think you can't go wrong with any of them. All just personal preference.

thanks for the insight guys. I have put my hands on all 3 off these. Liked the feel of the Maxus the least and really like the feel of the other 2. Its a tight race between Vinci and the A400. Would like to take advantage of the tax free weekend so I might be showing off a new gun by the end of the weekend.

Unfortunatly there are none that I am aware of but we could use one.

Regarding the gun, my wife has a Maxus and I have two Super V's, I have shot her Maxus several times, I like them both but prefer the Super V, like others have said it just feels better balanced to me. I have not shot an A400 but I"m sure it is a good gun. When I bought my first Super V, we went to Bass Pro and tried eight or so guns, it stood out to me. Like you my uncle Ronnie (guy that has helped me at the tournament the last two years) is in the market for a gun and I let him shoot the Maxus and Super V, he was sold on the Super V very quickly.

I don't like the xgrain wood they are using on the A400's. Seems if I am going to pay that much for a gun I want some real wood that will have some real scratches on it.. JMO

I got two vinci's...once I shot it I got rid of my SBE2 which is a great gun to.
They are very light and kick very little. My uncle bought the A400 last year, it is a nice gun but just seems kind of bulky vs the benelli. Also, the design of the vinci is light years ahead of the other guns on the market. It is amazing how easy/simple and quick it is to break down

Bought the new A-400 last year and love it, have been a Benelli guy for the last ten years and own an orignal SBE1 and still love it is well. The Beretta just has alot less recoil and I mean alot. Inertia guns break down alot easier. But cleaned my Beretta only twice last year all season and had no problems and always had a couple malfunctions each year with my benelli. Beretta doesn't shoulder quite as well as the Benelli tho. Bought the new Browning A-5 and really really like it, auto load is neat feature, but has noticable recoil compared to the Beretta. My .02 cents....

Bought the Benelli super vinici last year and i love it. No issues at all with it. Gun breaks down very easy. Any of the guns talked about above are good guns. Just depends on which fits you best.
