So the big difference between the two is that the 1100 was originally designed for upland and the 11-87 is chambered for 3 inch, allowing larger game hunting? (i.e. duck, geese, turkey...)

I read somewhere that the 11-87 is balanced at the receiver and the 1100 is balanced towards the forearm. The foreward balance is thought to aid in a smooth follow thru on wing shots. Any thoughts on this? I hunt the Arizona low and high deserts. Typical quail hunting here is you find them in the river bottoms, get off a few shots before they fly to the highest hill top they can find (in some cases, mountain). You climb up the the hill, find them, get off a few more shots where upon they fly back to the river bottom. You climb back down the hill and repeat as necessary. 
Now you know why we like light guns!! It's a great work-out.
