I've owned several Kimbers (blued TLE II, CDP Pro, Eclipse, Tactical Pro) since the late '90s, never had a problem with any one. My TLE II has a really, really sweet trigger. It's been 100% reliable since I purchased it new in '09, and it's been shot a lot. Only issue is that the finish inexplicably wore quickly off the slide stop and safety lever, which was never really a concern. The Meprolight sights still have life in them.
Kimber does a good job with the frontstrap checkering. Some complain about the plastic MSH, but it's easily replaced I think I paid $799 for mine when I bought it at the local Sportsman's Warehouse, so that price seems quite good today, for a quality full-size 1911 with FS checkering, nice grips, and great night-sight -- you're getting a bit more at the price point than you get with the comparable Springfield Armory ("Loaded") or Colt pistols.
Don't have a pic of the TLE, but below is my favorite Kimber:
