I'm still sporting my old Mossberg Semi 12ga, weighs a ton but after over 20 years with it I'm kind of partial.

I ran an 870 (Remington) that was a boat anchor.  Handed it down to my son in favor of the southpaw Benelli.  It pleases me that it remains a family heirloom, but I don't miss ejected shells flying in front of my face.

I almost threw the M2 over my shoulder the first time I picked it up.  The weight difference is that dramatic.  Even after more than 5 years, it surprises me still how lightweight the thing is.

As for swapping for the sake of swapping, I wouldn't recommend that unless you shoot enough to make the new one an extension of yourself.  I buy birdshot by the flat or the case (even a pallet or two when the price is right).  Four rounds of clays at least every week.  I still call that a $25 weekend ... even though the prices are at about triple what I paid.

I don't keep a lot of shells on-hand for hunting.  Went up to the gun show for some pheasant loads and dropped a hundred bucks on a flat (10 boxes).  I needed them at the time, but reaching for the wallet was a hard thing to do.  Turned out they were of superior quality ... so there's that.
'Cause if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send you back to Mother in a cardboard box
You better run!
