New production P210 in 2010!

Wow I wonder how they got a new P210? I don't even think they are out in the States yet. There was some talk on a US website about Sig bringing in a total of 210 pistols for the initial release in the US.
 
FWIW a Swiss gunsmith I know looked at them at a trade show and was quite disappointed in the quality of the fitting and finish. They were/are expensive guns to make, and the originals were tightly fitted and very smooth. The newer production had to cut a few corners and the result is not quite as good as the original. Of course, a good gunsmith could likely clean them up and work on the trigger too.
 
So, I appreciate a well crafted and extremely accurate gun like I'm sure you all do, but what's the appeal of the P210? With the X-Fives and other P22# match guns being as accurate as the old P210s, why not get an X-Five or a match gun? The cost is pretty much the same, is there something the P210 has that the others don't? Just curious.

In my experience the newer SIGs were never as accurate as the P210s. I received more than a couple P210s (new production) with 8rd test targets shot at 50m. The groups were generally about 1.5". The new production SIG match type guns generally come with 5rd 25m test targets and groups about the same size.
However, depending on what type of competition you shoot, the P210 is limited in mag capacity and mag changes are not particularly quick.

What about the X-Five series? Are they 25m test targets too? Seems kinda goofy that they would advertise them online as being capable of sub 2" groups at 50 then include a 25m test target with 1.5"
