What is the difference and which would you recommend?
Assume the gun would be carried concealed.

Great post.There are any number of people, some moulded to their bean bags in their basements, who are absolutely and irrevocably welded to the notion that a "series 80" triggers are uniformly comparable to pulling an 18" length of #12 rebar through 24" of #3 crusher run limestone.
There are those who swear by the concentric nature of a collet bushing; others who swear the things disintegrate like grenades by being looked at wrong.
I've owned both, still do, come to cases. I've even busted a couple collet bushings (only one of those being a "finger break") the firearm and shooter both survived.
For carry, the important thing is actual reliability, not speculative reliability. Using other people's notions is merely speculative. Only your own experience can really educate.
Suppose you are in a situation where you fall or are knocked down and the 70 series hits the ground in just the right way to go off? Things other that dropping the 1911 can happen... Just saying.The need for a firing pin safety in a properly made 1911 is a big nothing burger to me, so I am perfectly happy carrying one without it.
If you have plans to drop your 1911 from 20 feet in the air so it lands perfectly straight down on the muzzle, then maybe you need one.
I have two with radial cracks that did not slow shooting. Only the one that dumped a finger tip.collet bushings that have broken on me
I had completely forgotten about the snake-oil of tuning them. Too funny. Was a guy too that advertised "balancing your 1911 firing pin for optimum performance" for when you have more money than sense.I have two with radial cracks that did not slow shooting. Only the one that dumped a finger tip.
There used to be many column inches on "tuning" the fingers to have 'equal pressure' in the gun rags. Which, no doubt, kept the authors in Post Toasties. And probably led too many Bubbas to reach for pliers . . .
