The purpose of the 28 is a lighter, faster handleing upland gun. I wouldn't use a 9lb Beretta O/U with 28ga sub guage tubes to go Grouse hunting any more than I'd take my 28ga 00 frame VHE to a registered skeet shoot.
If you want to carry an 0 frame gun than the 20ga makes more sence. If you persist in using a 1 1/8 0z load of shot for a 16 than you might as well use a 12.
