Since newer is supposed to be better, there is an assumption that the 11-87 is better than the 1100 (in some or all areas?). I'm interested in getting an autoloading shotgun for hunting, 3 gun matches and self defense. I am planning on a 20" barrel and ghost ring sights, slugs to bird shot. For those of you with knowledge and/or experience, do I need to go with an 11-87, or will the 1100 do just fine? In my area, it looks like the 11-87 costs $150-200 more than an 1100.

Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal
weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the
monarch of all he surveys.
