I'm sure glad that I have an old one. $2k puts it out of range for me.

No. We are saying Prophet River's pricing is totally fair because it is simply US MSRP plus the currency conversion.
Many distributors have a unique Canadian MSRP which equates to US MSRP + several hundred premium + conversion. (Some will remember that Glock did away with this premium in the summer/fall.)
I'm not saying the premium is not always justified and may cover some legit costs, I'm just saying I appreciate not paying it ;-)

How do they compare to the originals?
These may be expensive but if they are comparable to the quality of the current crop of 1911's, they are likely a cut above the S&W and Ruger offerings. Whether that premium is worth it is a personal call. Clearly QA/QC is alive and well at DW so that is encouraging. Looking forward to some reviews.
