Springfield vs. Kimber

I'm looking to get a compact 3" 1911 for CCW. I've narrowed it down to a Springfield Micro Compact, Springfield Mil-Spec 3" or Kimber Ultra Carry. I've handled and like all 3. I already have a Kimber Custom and I am very pleased with it. Therefore I am kind of prejudiced toward the Kimber. If it was the same money, I'd go with Kimber, but I found a Springfield Micro for about $250 less. Please help.

I've hear lots of people bash the Kimber "II" models, but never heard the reason. What is the problem the new safety system creates?

P.S.: I hope that didn't sound like I was being an *, because that wasn't, my intention. I respect all of your opinions and have received sound advice many times. I rarely make a purchase without consulting the experts first.
