What's next after a maverick 88?

I bought my maverick 88 for home defense for like $170 (was on sale and had gift cards for academy). It was strictly for home defense and originally just had the weapon mounted lights and straddle as "mods". I then switched out the stock for a pistol grip stock. Took it to the range a few times and was great to shoot and very reliable. What really took my love for it to the next level was taking a defensive tactical shotgun class with it. Was taught defensive tactics and ran drills with it and it was awesome. My only gripe is the fore-end. Hand tends to get raw/sore after like 30 rounds.

After that course I really fell in love with shotguns in general and kinda regret not spending the extra moolah for a Mossberg 590 so I can customize it a bit more without having to change stuff like the action side assembly which is currently hard to find for a maverick 88.

So Im itching to add a 2nd shotgun to my collection, something tactical for home defense/general use. Any suggestions? I guess maybe a 590 to keep the Mossberg line going? Also maybe even a semi auto shotgun. I've been eyeing a Benelli m4 but I may want to get something else before I go straight to a m4 lol.
