Front serrations are nice for how I like to do brass checks, which is one-handed, using thumb tension to pull back the slide. It's more to limit all the strength being used in one hand instead of two. A nice feature to have but not a dealbreaker.
The SCT is the older version of what SIG now calls the TACOPS P226. Pretty much the same thing: fiber/tritium sights with 4 20-round mags, only the new model has a beavertail.
MSRP for the TACOPS is 1300, I see it for 1100 or up in the stores. SCT was listed for 1150. A used basic 226 with 1-2 standard mags would go for 700 used, yeah. The SCT/TAC is the high-end model.
$700 is way too high IMHO. You should be able to get a brand new standard P226 for $700ish without much effort (there is one in .40 S&W at my nearest dealer for $696 right now). Another local store has a new P226 Elite Dark they were willing to let go for under $800 because it was in .357 SIG calibre, for which ammo cost an arm and leg. Although the night sights and extra high capacity magazines are nice additions, they're not going to make the sale either. I'd say ask $600 firm for a reasonably quick sale unless you're willing to wait for buyer to come along who's willing to pay more.
