The Witness Protection grip (Raptor grip) is far superior to the Cruiser's more conventional pistol grip. A WP grip can be fired from the up position, a bit forward of where it would be if it were stocked, whereas shooting a 'Cruiser' type gun will more than likely bust you in the chops. BTDT. I developed a way to hold it up that won't, but the recoil force flows better through the WP grip and shoots more like a regular shotgun. It also shoots better from the hip, regular pistol grips tend to point into the dirt, you have to practice a lot to keep it from doing so. The WP grip points much more naturally from the hip. Clint Smith made a good video on shooting the Shockwave up high, I'm sure you've seen that, and you've surely shot a regular PGO. I tried both in the 870 platform, but the lessons learned are the same.
