I had a 16 gauge Parker that was sleeved to 20 gauge by La Fever I was told. It made the gun heavy. One thing to consider is having Briley make tubes for the next smallest gauge and refinish the barrels. It would, in my opinion, make a much nicer looking gun.

I have a couple of guns done like that, and if you spend a tad more for titanium tubes, there is very little change in weight. If the chokes are still present in your gun you might even get my rechambering and doing a tube out about 6", and that will have even less effect on the dynamics of the gun. Briley is topnotch at this kind of work. If you decide to sleeve the gun, then I agree that Merrington is the guy.
