The only one I tried was the Choate. Dunno about price. A bit more muzzle rise compared to a standard wood stock, but comfortable.
Discomfort with a shotgun can be traced to heavy loads, bad form and bad fit.
Lighten your loads. 8 or 9 pellet buck is fine, 1 oz slugs also.
Work on your form as we all should. Get a good press into your shoulder with all the pad in contact. Lean well into the shot. Work on smoothness and effect. Speed will show up on its own.
HTH....
