Beretta 686 vs Browning 725 for Sporting Clays - which handles better on long crossers?

I've been shooting a Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon for years and love it, but I'm considering a Browning 725 for my next gun. I shoot mostly sporting clays, and I struggle a bit with those long, fast crossers at stations 3 and 7. Anyone have experience with both and can compare how they swing?

I've owned both - the 686 is a bit quicker and livelier in the hands, which is great for close targets. The 725 feels more deliberate and stable, almost like it tracks better on those long crossers. I'd say try to demo a 725 if you can, but honestly, a lot of it comes down to fit - my 725 has a slightly longer LOP and that made a difference for me. What's your current LOP and drop on the 686?
