If the options are Kimber or Springfield, I'd take the Springfield. Kimbers do not give me the warm fuzzies since the Series II guns. Google "Kimber grip safety timing" for a better explanation, but the short version is it's possible to depress the grip safety far enough to release the hammer but not deactivate the firing pin block. While it doesn't happen on to everybody or every pistol, it's something to be aware of.
My personal choices would be a Colt Competition, a Ruger SR1911 or one of the Dan Wesson models, depending on budget and desired features.
