Does anyone here shoot trap?

I went out this weekend for the first time and had a lot of fun.  I'd like to keep going as the range is about 5 minutes from my house, but my Benelli M4 isn't well suited for trap so I would like to pick up a non home defense "multi purpose" 12 gauge.  Here are some choices:

 

A used Benelli Nova w/ fiber optic for $275

A new Remington 870 Express on sale for $289

A used Remington 870 Wingmaster for $289

Step up to a Beretta 3901 semi-auto for $575

 

Any thoughts on either trap or any of the guns above?

No experience with the Benelli's, but I have used an 870 Wingmaster for the past 20 years and it fits and functions flawlessly. The "express" version is the same basic gun, it just has a more utilitarian finish and stock.

Thanks Duane.  Sports Authority had the 870 Express on sale for $289 which was a great price, but it just didn't seem to have the fit/finish and build quality of the older versions.  I ended up going with none of the above.  I found a nice used Benelli M1 Super 90 with a fiber site at a local pawn shop for $550 and they even through in a case.  It has a very similar receiver to my Benelli M4 so everything works the same
