I've decided to get a Remington 870 12 GA shotgun. Seems simple enough, right?
Well Remington makes literally dozens of versions of the 870.
I was thinking of getting this:

(870 Express Super Magnum Combo )
But I found this at the local store, and they said it would be 8-12 weeks to order the Super Magnum this time of year:

(870 Express Combo)
Any opinions?
It seems the only difference between the two is that the Super Magnum can use 3 1/2 shells, but from what I gather it is also not compatible with most 870 barrels.
I thought all I needed to know about shotgun ammo was gauge, but there seems to be more to it. Can anyone give me a run-down?
