The weight isn't a big issue, it's going to get shot as is for awhile before any thought of an aftermarket stock is considered. It's my wife's gun anyway so whatever she wants to do with it is cool with me. If I want to trick one out I'll just buy myself one, things are so bloody cheap to buy I might as well get myself one. Although I'm quite partial to my 20" Fabarm but we'll see, I love a good short 12g.
