While I love my 11-87SC, if you're looking for a rock-solid reliable gun that can take a lot of use, abuse, misuse, and neglect while still going bang every time you can't beat the Benelli.
Yes, I know these are likely out of your budget, but both Franchi I-12 and Stoeger Model 2000 (sister companies with Benelli via their parent, Beretta) have adopted the inertia firing mechanism (with very few differences) of the Benelli and should be just as reliable while being more palatable for your wallet (and wife).
Good luck!
