If you plan to do a lot of shooting the A400 is definitely the softer recoiling gun. I've run hundreds of shells through my A400 in a day shooting clays and the gas piston had hardly any fouling on it. Utterly reliable, swings like the barrel is 4" shorter than it is,
I've never shot the M2, so don't put too much weight on my opinion. But I typically shoot 5-6 cases of shells (sporting clays) thru my A400 before I bother to clean it.
I have two of them - one for the kids to shoot. If both were to disappear tomorrow, I'd go buy two more. I wouldn't even stop and consider anything else.
I don't have the opportunity to do much duck hunting, but have carried the 400 twice on duck hunts. It kills ducks just fine.
Before the A400's came out, I shot Beretta 391's. Excellent shotguns, but the 400 weighs less. The 400's and the 391's have shims that let you adjust the cast (left & right) and "drop" (not sure that's the right term). Picking one up in a gun store may not tell you if it fits well -- especially if you're left handed (they are delivered with a right hand shim installed).
Anyway .... the 400's are expensive, but they hold their value well. I think they're worth it compared to the cost of other shotguns.
