I have a FN SLP which I'm told are the same exact gun as the SX2/SX3. I love it. I've also shot a couple of M1 Super 90's set up for 3 gun comps. The Benellis are a little lighter and seem to point faster, but my FN doesn't recoil as much. It being a touch heavier and gas operated it's one soft shooting gun.
The Benellis seem to be a faster/easier handling gun and they don't recoil near as much as you think they are going to when you first pick them up. You think uh oh this is gonna hurt, but they don't. They must have some sort of voodoo going on in their recoil operation. They seem like they kick less than my 1100 which is a good bit heavier and it's also gas operated.
I'd guess that the same traits are going to exist in the field version of both. Either of your choices are fine shotguns. Pick the one you like best.
