G19 worth the 30% more then a G17?

My girlfriend and I shot a GLOCK 19 a bit at the range this week (we had our own guns there as well, but we each probably put 30 rounds or so through this G19). This one was set up with a Storm Lake Stainless barrel, 3.5 connector, extended slide release, GLOCK night sights, and some grip tape-type stuff on the grip.

I think the GLOCK nights sights are very nice. I am not a fan of the stock GLOCK sights, but the GNS are good. The trigger was also very nice on this one. The gun is set up very nicely. This one was also very well broken in, and shot like a dream. I have to have one of these now. I am a SIG guy, I also like some of the HK guns and some other stuff, but I must have a G19 now. It is just so simple and easy to use - and so easy to get good results shooting "briskly".

This is a video from yesterday:

This is the target I was shooting at: (I was trying to get my gf to show the target at the end of the shooting, but we just take our vids with a little digital camera, and it won't zoom in video mode. I need a proper video camera I guess).

Those are pretty nice results for shooting double taps IMHO. The circle is 5 inch across. Just one flyer, and it still hit the 8 1/2 x 11 page. Plus, this is not a gun I have thousands of rounds on or anything. I could do better with a SIG 228 or 229, but not much better, and not all the time, despite having thousands and thousands of rounds through those guns. GLOCK, you just pick 'em up, point and shoot. No wonder people that train people to carry guns often like these (although, the trigger on this one is way too light for any kind of professional carrying). I've gotta have one.

Here is another vid of me from that day as well:

Does anybody know where i can find a G19 with restricted barrel (exept the one at TSE at 1199$)

Thanks

What do you think? would you rather have a G17 and $300 in your pocket or a G19?

Of the two I'd prefer to have an original G19. In Canada it is a 12(6) prohib, which I can acquire/possess on my R-PAL. Have shot them both & prefer the G19, so yes it would be worth more to me to have a G19.

However, I'd take a stock G17 over a 'restricted' G19 with the aftermarket stick-out barrel.
