I used my trusty 11-87 instead of my Benelli 99% of the time, it just weighed a lot more than the 11-87.
Oh, and the 11-87 I'd shoot 250 rounds non stop for 2000 rounds. Gone through 20-30k of ammo without anything, never had one hiccup.

Yeah, you are actually the first person I've interacted with that actually owns an SX3. When I bought mine the guy at Cabelas said it was the first one he had sold personally, and he wasn't sure if other guys had sold many either. It was surprising to hear that because all the reviewers rave about it, so I thought it would be pretty popular. My dad has a similar problem with his A5. It won't cycle about 50% of the time unless it is shooting #4 shot or heavier. Kind of a problem here since ranges won't let you shoot anything more powerful than 7 1/2.

I'd take a look at the SX3. The 870 is fantastic, but the SX3 is great too and it's a semi-auto. I love my pump, and you can't go wrong with either, but I've began to prefer the semi-auto since I got it.
