I agree that modifying an original in an irreversible way is heresy, but that's just me personally. Owners can do whatever they want to their guns (sadly, heheh), but on the other hand, there's no real prestige in owning a modern one that may or may not be more functional. You can have functionality or that prestige, but you can't have both, at least not without butchering an older gun.
I personally can do without about everything you've said being put on a 1911 (even the sights, I know, it's crazy), which is why I'm still stuck on an original Series 70, though I will concede 100 percent that beveled magazine wells are better than regular ones IMHO.
