"Close enough" in what respects?
"A man's character is his fate."
Good question. I guess I'm asking if the P07 feels anything like what a polymer Sig classic might feel like if there was such a beast. Similar trigger characteristics, similar magazine release locations, slide release, point of aim, etc. I know that the 2022 is out there but doesn't fit what I'm looking for. We follow my sons baseball team around all summer and honestly when it's really hot I would rather carry a smaller, lighter, TDA polymer pistol over a 226.
There is a whole lot of subjective in that list... just sayin' ;-)
A friend of mine has a P226 so I've shot both side by side but I have much more trigger time on the CZs so, to me, the P226 felt "odd."
Just my observations here, nothing scientific, but to me the P226 felt a lot wider and the recoil impulse was quite different. Trigger on the P226 was stock so I'm not sure how fair the comparison would be to a tuned CZ but it didn't stand out as "bad" in any respect except reset. Mag releases were similar enough to me. Slide releases were worlds apart, mainly because I've trained so much to release the CZ slide release lever with my left hand thumb. Both guns pointed well for me and POI was as expected out to the 15 yards we were shooting at.
The other major differences were that my primary carry P-07 is equipped with an RMR, X300 and a comp... so, again, we aren't talking apples to apples. I do have a P-07 with just irons that I carry when clothing contraints apply - I would be happy to arrange another comparison with my friend and provide more impressions, if you like. Really, though, I suggest you rent or borrow a P-07 and shoot one yourself, if you have that option... your impressions may differ wildly from mine - you may find the guns close enough or not even close ;-)

Feels like a P226 = no
DA triggers on my 07s are heavier than my 226s but shorter length of pull.
SA the triggers are similar.
Mag release seems identical
Slide release is very different but Sigs are the oddball here.
POA, the CZs sit lower in the hand, grip angles seem the same.
I find the P-07s to be very shootable. In dry practice, they don't seem that impressive but when I run live ammo and use a shot timer I've become really fond of them.
Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for that dumb bastard.
This is the exact thing about the p07. Nothing seems sexy about it. But once you get it out and it goes loud the gun just shoots.

Cutting my JMCK AIWB 2.5 full length sweatguard down to mid-length helped. Draws are now in the 0.8x range.

Quick update to address @GuanoLoco ‘s question about whether the beaver tail digs into your gut AIWB. No problems with that for me.

Hmmm ... Is the P-07 beavertail less pokey than the suppressor-ready P-01 Omega I have, or am I suffering from crappy holster (came with the gun) syndrome?
I need to go handle a P-07.
Are you now, or have you ever been a member of the Doodie Project?
My second P-07 showed up yesterday. This one is FDE. I’ll post some pics soon for those who care about gunporn. Until then, here are some observations.
The action was ok out of the box, and got noticeably smoother with a bit of Lucas oil and grease. The roller and sear seem to need grease. DA pull is heavy—off scale of my gauge—over 10#. Specs say 13#, and I believe it. SA pull is 3.75#, actually a bit lighter than in my Cajunized P-07. The break and reset are good, but not as clean and predictable as the CGW gun.
I’m not sure if I’ll leave this gun stock, put in another ProGrade kit, or send it to Cajun.

Addendum to my last post:
After about 1000 dryfire cycles (with a foam earplug over the firing pin to reduce wear on the roll pin), the action is measurably improved. DA: 9#, SA: 3.75-4#. It's much smoother. Not quite as crisp as the CGW Prograde gun, but still very nice.
