Living in NZ for a competition pistol you really need to go with something with parts availability or at minimum buy two of same pistol, which is 1911 frame really, STI, Les Baer above are good competition pistols.

i was keen on an SA-only model of the P220 until i saw the price.

Yes, then you end up back the full circle of glocks, xdms, M &P' s, CZ's, 1911's, Tangfolio now.
I was really keen on an X5, put it in the too hard and too expensive basket.
