I spent a lot of time figuring out whether or not to spend a little more to get the gun I really wanted versus something I would like not to long ago. I ended buying what I wanted instead of what would work and in hindsight I can't figure out why it was even an issue....with the price of ammo (.223 in my case) the difference in gun prices is really not that many rounds (especially when you are talking .308. I say get what you've been wanting. I laugh because most of my guns have had more money shot through them than they cost by far.
By the way, I wore out an XD40 and Springfield had EXTRAORDINARY customer service when I sent it in under warranty a couple of times. At one point they even refinished it (it was SS with some surface rust) and put it in a new hard case free of charge without the surface rust even being brought up by me. I don't like it when I have a problem with a gun but I beat the pi$$ out of that little XD and it deserved to wear out. In the end I would never hesitate to buy another Springfield product they were so great to deal with.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
