Honestly, either one is great.
You can get a Colt Government, a Springfield Mil-spec or a semi-custom pistol such as a Ed Brown, Les Baer NH, or Wilson and still be very accurate. All will guarantee 1 hole at 7 yards, a ragged hole at 10 yrds and a nice group at 25 yards. It depends on whether or not how far you're willing to shoot, as the Semi-customs will have a slight edge. But the edge you gain in accuracy might be noticed, or it might.
Now it comes down to what you want in a 1911. Do the beavertails, skeleton hammer and triggerm, magwell, target/nightsights, FLGR all matter to you? Or would you be perfectly content with a bone stock 1911?
I'll tell ya my perspective. I started with a Colt Government as my first 1911. Now it sits in the safe, and my doo-dad gun gets much, much more range time. For me, it matters. But now I can notice the differences in all options available and appreciate it more because I started with a plain jane 1911.
But there are great production guns out there with all the bells and whistles too that are affordable. Easily, the Kimber Custom II and Springfield Armory Loaded are made for the general shooters that want the cool options. And, these guns are VERY capable shooters.
To some, the mods/options don't make a difference for them. For others, they want a PJ gun. Others require the latest thing. Find out what you really want, go shoot a couple differnet 1911s. It should be apparent in short time whether it really matters to you.
Good luck!
