There is a saying, which is truth: Beware the man with one gun, he probably knows how to shoot it. You can probably do everything with just one gun, especially with the screw in chokes that exist today. And if you later get a second gun, keep the first one as well. My recommendation would be for an over/under gun. With the inflation we are having and will continue to have, be willing to spend more to get yourself a Browning which will last a life time and hold its value. Welcome to the shotgun sports.
 
I would buy that 1100. The price seems right. You are familiar with them. You can do everything you need to do with a modified barrel and if you later want screw in chokes, it can be threaded to take them. If you have no need for the slug barrel you can sell it, thereby reducing what you have paid for the gun. Probably can get $150-$200 for it. Check ads, I may be out of touch on prices.
