To me beads feel right on a shotgun and I know how to use them. Trying to shoot slugs at range is not a great way to use a bead sight.
Not being able to adjust your sights to match POI/POA may also be a downside. I have not had any problems though all of the different bird and buck loads are centered pretty well on mine.
I am happy with my choice, I would love the shorter barrel though.
I am thinking about buying the TAC model to complement it, or a cheap 870 to get experience with rifle/open sights. But if you were to limit me to one shotgun the Comp model is what I would choose.
