Would you still buy a Remington 870 Super Mag?

Well, I didn't buy a Super Mag. I picked up a standard 870 Express ShurShot from Academy. It has the gray laminate stocks instead of the brown laminate.

I got the 26" barrel because I just don't like 28". The fit and finish on this gun is at least a 9/10. I really like the looks of the wood on this particular gun, and I usually don't like any laminate stocks. The metal finish is uniform and the roll marks are crisp.

One thing to note, the receiver does not say Express, it simply has the stylized Remington 870 on the left side. It also comes with a standard safety (no J-lock) and a complete set of Hi-Viz sights.

Very happy with my purchase. I put about 10 turkey loads through it yesterday with no issues, no rough chambers, etc. I know people have had some issues with Remington QC as of late but this is a fine specimen, especially from a box store.
 
I have five 870 magnums and plan to get a few more. However, I will never get a 870 supermag. They are just to easy to jam.

I don't care for the Mossberg 3.5" guns either as they don't seem to balance right IMHO.

If I felt the need to shoot 3.5" shells I would get a Benelli Nova.
 
I have shot several hundred 3.5'' shells out of my supermag over the past 15 years and i cant recall ever having one FTF or FTE. That includes buckshot and turkey loads. Maybe there is something wrong with your shotgun.
