Buy a box and see for yourself. People can have all kinds of opinions and all sorts of advertising statements that do not last beyond the first trigger pull.
But the difference between full choke and cylinder bore at 30 yards is five inches radius ( each side) for an effective killing circle for a game bird. If your aim is off, a broader pattern will not truly help you. On the other hand, if the problem is that you are centering the bird and making mincemeat out of it, why not change to a lesser charge? A good shot can use a full choke gun and hit the head and neck of a pheasant or duck, that will kill them dead in the air The problem with full choke and small birds is that it hits them too hard .
If you are shooting clays only, it doesn't take much to break the target and you don't worry much about a killing pattern. There the broader the better but for holes in the pattern.
Some of us do enough shotgun instruction to see that most misses are by a matter of feet or even yards, usually not enough lead on a crossing target. Fine tuning the shot pattern size will not cure a miss of three feet.
