Hi Smokey,
I have an Ultralight which I use over the dogs and am very pleased with it.
All things are relative, but handling-wise, I find it very easy to bring up and swing through.
When I first got it, it didn't fit me and kicked like a mule! (but then I need a cast like a dog's hind leg!)
Since fitting it, the recoil goes in the right direction and is very smooth now, using 32g 6s which I tend to stick to for pigeons, rabbits, pheasants etc. If you want to use it to shoot Canada geese in greater numbers than 1 or 2 a year then forget it, but for walked up game, shot over dogs, for
