I am putting two Parkers in the car now for a round of Clays today. One is 20 G short and open other is 12 G long and tight. Will shoot the first half of the course with one 2nd half with the other. My shooting buddy the same pair of Parkers 20 & 12. Knowing how they throw will make a difference in how I take the shots. Short gun will probably go fast and try to break close to the trap. Long gun let the target develop and look for a break further away ( or the reverse if incoming) Other thing is I have gone to two shot sizes. 7 1/2 for the tight choked gun # 9 for the open gun.
At my age and eyesight need all the help I can get to hit targets. In the end choke is probably not all that important miss is a miss no matter how the gun is choked. Confidence is very important and knowing the gun makes a confident shot.
