I'd go with the Benelli Legacy. I have had mine for almost two years and I love it. It's very lightweight. Mines a 20g. Nice looking gun too.

I would def. recommend the monte. It is a great looking sub 6lb sub 1k$ fun that handles great and ultra reliable. My wife has one and has killed turkey's doves and quail with out an issue. I loaded some pretty sketchy 3/4 oz loads and it eats them without issue. The other two guns are great as well, but I don't think you can beat the money for value reliability and simple good looks, although the legacy is pretty little piece.

I don't have either one of them but if I were gonna buy one it would be the monte. Actually that is on my wish list.

Get the one that fits the best. No matter the brand or model if a shotgun doesn't fit it's about as good as a canoe paddle on the prairie.

I am sort of in the same situation right now as well. Ive heard bad things about the kick off on the a400 by the way. I am looking at the a400 xcel and possibly some various o/u's. Still cannot wrap my head around shooting skeet and trap with an autoloader though!
