Swap old-school 870P for Beretta 1301 or Benelli M2 for HD?

Tom Givens shotgun class in Culpeper, Va in April. OnSight Training has a March 31 shotgun class in Pitt and Sentinel Concepts is running June and Sept '18 classes in Alliance, Oh.

Agreed on taking the class before dropping money on a new gun. Take the class with your 870 as is. Go from there.

It is certainly easier to make intelligent decisions after you've had the chance to play with different options and see how they work.
