Either one or.. *

That's gonna be a tough call unless one owns both to compare, much like you're gonna have the_guilty pleasure of having and shooting..
Having three 40cals, 2 P229n/r 40's and a Beretta Px4 40, I couldn't be happier compared to other 40's I have shot with exception of a 90-Two 40 but I have shot a friends 90-Two 9mm with D-spring and it was surreal for an accurate, tight grouping shooter.. The DA was smooth, light, to me, and the SA break was clean, light, just like my P229's in both DA and SA.. and accuracy.
If it was for pure range shooting, and ccw, I'd get a 90-Two (it's a bit lighter) without doubt except for CA. does not allow them or should I say one can get one legally, but luck, being in the right place and right time via a CA. private party came knocking at my door, but..
Last, I have shot a LEO's 226 DAO 40cal and without knowing (at first) thinking it was a 45cal (it was already loaded) when he said ya want to try my DAO?, I was sure it was a 45cal (thinking it was a P220) as the recoil was mutt, more a push and the, light, balanced, fall-back-on target balance was there, in spades, IMO.. Awesome 40cal shooter, as well.
*My thinking, maybe my bet, as well, is you'll keep both..
