Doing a shotgun class with a $400 Benelli M4 knockoff is certainly a bold move, but it paid off for me. I'm not kidding in the conclusion, either; they did a shockingly good job with the class for a first run, and it really did measure up very well with the big name classes I have taken. I think the real difference is subject matter expertise; while the shootings bits were similar (or better, frankly), I do think other instructors had an edge in the sheer quantity of gear and ammo they've seen roll through, or with LEO and .mil specific usage. It's a rare class that excels in every single area, though.
