Personally, I think Springfield Armory guns are better than Series 80 and later Colt 1911s...they are NOT as good as Series 70 1911s.
Heck, I had a Springfield Armory 1911 that I used for IPSC shooting and sometimes I'd do 500 rounds per DAY in practice.
One of the nice thing about the Springfields is they don't come with the annoying firing pin block safety that came on the Series 80 and newer Colts; this means it's easier to have a gunsmith do a better trigger job.

Don't know how prices run in your region, but for my area $450 is starting to run to the high side.
If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!0
