Like you, I use both fied chokes and tube guns.

If one owns/uses multiple shotguns, fixed chokes are not much of a handicap.

A "one gun" person probably needs choke tubes.

Clay bird shooters have more need for tubes.

Shooting Sporting Clays is where tubes are especially helpful. the shots on some courses vary from 10 yards out to 45 yards. I've used everything from straight cylinder to full choke on a single round of sporting clays.

Tubes are also a big help in moving from a skeet course to trap.

Some days I'm tempted to sell all my other shotguns and use my browning Gold Hunter for everything. I shoot it better than any other shotgun. With 5 tubes, I could shoot anything from quail to geese, and clay birds as well. But I sure would miss my vintage SxS's and Citori.
