My only 2 barrel set is a 10g/12g setup, 32 and 30 inch barrels. I find the set great and very useful in those configurations. I have never had an interest in sets that are same gauge and same or similar barrel length with only variations in choke. I understand the purpose, but with spreader loads and such today I don't find them desireable. Now, your 28 and 32 set would have more appeal to me, as that is a practical difference. Plus, lots of members on here seem to think a 32" 20 gauge is about a perfect gun (not me, anything below a 12 is too small, though I might pick up one of those dainty 16s eventually). I saw a set at a shoot once when I first got into parkers, 3 barrel 10/12/16 that was 34, 30, and 26 inches respectively. I didn't know enough about Parkers at the time to ask much about it but it was nice. Wish I had paid more attention to it, I don't even know what the frame size on it was or if the barrels were all factory, but that is a setup that would have a lot of appeal to me if I ran across it today. Back to your question though, if I liked 20s I think I would be interested in this one.
