Default 1911 models

Without discussing favorite manufacturers too much, what is your favorite 1911 style?

To me the full size 5" guns balance better in my hand and the longer sight radius helps in putting holes where I want them - but on the other hand the 4.25" Commander size is a little easier to carry and usually shoots just about as well. I can never figure out which size I really like the best.

Next is the lightweight frames vs. the all steel Commander style models. I do not use a 1911 for concealed carry and I have had them both. I think I like the all steel better.
