1911's anyone?

Love 1911, it's a world famous pistol. Once owned a stainless steel (grey colored) Colt 1991A1, it's pleasant to shoot it (I shot everything I had at that time, all modern instances). Before buying it, reading warned recoil of 1911 and I was a little bit worried. But it turned out it's much more comfortable to shoot than my 9mm Glock 27 and .38spl S&W 36 etc. Almost acquired another 1911 back a while ago, a used Norinco 1911, but the previous owner installed a big safety lever on it which damaged the balanced appearance of the gun, so I passed it.

For causal acquiring of a modern 1911, which one is better choice: (1) S&W 1911, and (2) Springfield Armory 1911?? Springfield claimed being milspec, S&W is a brandname probably implied better quality?.... Any suggestion? Many reviews on the net gave Auto Ordnance 1911 low credit, I probably will bypass that one.
