Just wondering what models we are talking about here? 

I am considering the new 870 Supermag with the Shurshot stock, and would like to see
it compared to the Supernova with the Steady Grip for example.

FWIW, I just bought a Supernova and am very pleased so far. Many people on here claim the Supernova (and more the Nova) rattle real bad. I'm sure some do but the one I bought doesn't rattle a bit. I can't even make it rattle. I bought it used too so if it were going to rattle it should be doing it. It's actually feels really good and tight.
The one I bought has the Steadygrip too. I love it, it feels great! I can't compare it to the 870 stock but I did handle a 835 with the tactical stock on it and it didn't feel nearly as good.

Just my 2 cents...

Welcome to the 870 Brotherhood.  Like many eluded to, you won't be let down.

On a duck hunt I shot a buddy's Nova, while he shot my 870. I did not like the Nova, and he loved my 870. Weight and feel were my complaints. Both shoot welll enough. But I am an 870 guy.
If at first you don't succeed, shoot again.

Good choice. Now for some testing fun, and off to the woods. Won't be long till they are singing in the trees.
