Phaedrus, somehow I knew I'd see you in this thread...
I've been leaning toward the P30, no S, no L, DA/SA, 9mm. My USPs are all V1, but I've gotten away from C1 carry; these days I prefer the DA first shot. I don't think I'd miss the safety lever, but it might be nice to have.
I haven't ever seen an L model in the flesh so I have no idea how those balance.
I go back and forth on the LEM; I've played with it a little bit in stores, never in live fire, and haven't been all that impressed. I like SIG's DAK setup so you'd think I'd like the LEM, but it just feels spongy to me. Still, I hear so many good things about it, I feel as though I ought to give it a chance at some point.
The 9mm cartridge is one of my favorites for range use. The .40 is growing on me, but I've already got a couple of those, so I've got the cartridge redundancy covered.
Decisions, decisions...
