I think the Springfield is allot easier to work on than the kimbers espescialy if you are going to upgrade or customize, Kimbers are great but the last time I had to work with the company of kimber they told me "don't even try we machine press all of our parts to fit and you will NOT be able to get it back together" So I would go with a springfield A1 you will be able to send it to your smith and when you pick it up he will not have pulled out all of his hair.
