The only difference to me is the safety locations. I grew up totin an monkey wards 870 copy and work issued the 870 police models. I always bought mossberg or maverick personally.
I don't like switching back and forth usually but my maverick has the safety by the trigger guard. My 590A1 has it in the traditional mossberg position. It was just too heavy a beast so I sold it.
I would say I'm not too excited about a brand new remington 870 basic shotgun. I would say mossberg kills them and even maverick beats them. I just wish the trigger guards were all metal. Although I've never seen one broke.
