I absolutely ADORE my LC!
I used to dream about getting an STI or SVI............now I am contented with more money in my pocket.

FWIW; when I recently switched (last year) from Open Division to Standard I also switched from the 2011/STI format to Tanfoglio. For me it is a better ergonomic fit. Reasons to consider the Tanfoglio LC:
Ergonomics: best grip design in the industry; it fits the hand like a glove.
Lower bore axis: less flip.
Light reciprocating mass: fast cycling speed.
Polygonal barrel: shoots cheap plated bullets as well as expensive jacketed bullets for a 50% reductions in on-going costs. And feeds anything.
Pivoting trigger: once acclimated to them, they are VERY fast to shoot. And you can get a light pull with lots of sear pressure, so it's not likely to follow.
Needs very little work...if any...out of the box to race, as the gun is built for IPSC: some guns need trigger jobs and some don't depending on what kind of pull you like. Checkering, mag funnel, ambi-safety....all are standard.
Extras: ships with a locking hard case, two extra recoil springs, a cleaning kit, and two front sights (interchangeable post and F.O.)
Cost: you won't find a better gun for the money.
There are other reasons I think it's a better bet, but if you want to know what they are let me know back-channel and I'll fill you in.
Good luck with your choice.

Since the US Dollar / Edge price cut; (SRP $1894 now) the price difference is negligible.
Since I sell and import both, it makes no difference to me which you choose. But since more are chiming in on one brand, I'll balance with a comment on the other.
I can shoot either, and I choose an STI.
3 out of 4 competitors at the US Nationals choose them and if you look at the top 5 in standard in Canada at each nationals, with one Para exception (still a 1911 design), it's 2011 all the way.
Feel free to drop a line to Len at Phoenix Range in Edmonton and let him tell you about his Edge rental gun with 300,000 rounds on it.
That said, you won't regret the LC either - as you can see a few of these guys love 'em.
