Looking for opinions on Stoeger M3500.

I have been wanting a new shotgun for a while now and was wondering if anyone here has ever used one of these new Stoegers? Supposidly the same inertia system as the Super Black Eagle but less than half the price. I will hopefully be looking at these this weekend at both my local gun shop and Cabelas. Unfortunately I won't be able to try before I buy unless I take an hour drive to a different store.

The Stoeger looks almost identical to the Franchi 612/620 which is also a member of the Benelli family. The 620 is my grouse gun of choice and it's been through some rough hunts without a hiccup. The inertia system has worked perfectly every time, even with light 20 ga loads so I would be confident that the 12 ga would do the same. If it fits, buy and enjoy it.
