Many thanks for all the feedback. Much appreciated! I'll be doing a bit more research before I decide...however at this point, the scales appear to be tipped towards S&W.

Unfortunately no, They have gotten worse.
I'm disappointed at the reliability with 8 round magazines. My old Colt Gold Cup and my 2001 Kimber Gold Match both came with 8 round magazines.
Don't resist, it's ok to come to the dark side. JMB was a forward thinking man, he would appreciate someone making a change that works.MUST RESIST EXTERNAL EXTRACTOR!
In the price range you mention, I'd serious consider saving a few bucks and getting a Tauri (or two). I've not shot one, but I have looked at them very closely and they appear to be very well made. From all accounts, they're very reliable out of the box, and I'm guessing they're more accurate than 95% of the guys who will ever shoot one.
I will admit the S&W's look very nice. But I've never shot one of them either. Plus, the whole external extractor thing really kills the deal for me. (Just doesn't look right.)

Yeah I know...Part of my point.
don't know about that one but here is a M1910.
That pistol is also 100 years old as well.Wow! Just look at that slide to frame fit at the rear of John M. Browning's 1910. That is superb workmanship, especially for the era in which it was produced. And, no stinking thumb safety!
I had two Kimbers that way. Fixed them myself. Not uncommon with other makers.the only bad thing I can say about my S&W 1911, is the breechface has a slight step in it, and it makes my brass look like $hitt
