The only people saying expensive 1911's are just a waste of money are those that cannot afford such a gun.
That is simply not true, and you know it.
I can not justify spending more then a products actual worth.
When I bought my Remington R1, I did the research, read the reviews, and decided that the R1 was the best buy. Its a made in the USA product, and Remington prices the pistol as such.
A buddy of mine suggested that I spend another $100 - $200 and get a Kimber, or maybe even a Springfield. Why should I buy an overpriced product like a Springfield?
With the reliability of the Remington, Kimber and Springfield being equal, why would I want to overspend?
I would love to have a Springfield, not for the quality, but for the brandname. But I can not justify the price for a Springfield.
