The search is the fun part ... be deliberate, take your time, find one that meets all your wants without any alterations and then pounce on it ... they are out there!
The Parker Reproduction 20/16ga sets are, indeed, the mac-daddy of Repro’s

Greg however, is correct. The Sporting Clay’s model cannot be matched when it comes to versatility, b/c it can be used for about everything.

You’re going to be hard pressed to get better advice than what Greg (and others) have posted. Take your time and don’t become overly anxious. The only other thing I would add to what Greg said, is that if you haven’t actually handled a DHE, or B grade for that matter, do so.
