I have an older Winchester 1400 semi-auto with a long full-choke goose barrel. Barrel was too long, and I also had POI/POA issues with it. I considered getting a shorter barrel, but ended up with the new Remington 870. Frankly, the black gun, tacti cool aspect of it was not at all my style, but I decided to try something different. Glad I did. It is an awesome firearm, especially with the red dot, which mounts easily on the rail and solves a long-standing problem I have had with cross-dominant eye sight. (Wish they had these red dots when I was coming up.) And I also now have my choice of a variety of interchangeable exterior chokes for it. After wringing it out on the range a few times, my shooting confidence has never been higher.
