Take my money.
Longer RSA and new rifling are the most "waaaaaaaat?" details to me. This is more interesting than I thought. Surely the MHS gun.

I'm curious how the new pistol will feel in hand, and what if any difference the changed magazine well and lack of finger grooves do to the "pointability" or the comfort of the gun.

The new safety plunger is the one that's got me (yea, and the rifling). There's a bit of a history for fucking around with the recoil spring, but I don't know of any history of messing with the safety plunger. AFAIK it's been the same part basically this whole time, and they are compatible across generations, models calibers, etc.
I've always kinda thought that, from a design perspective, its shape and the implied interface with the striker was....let's say "less than confidence inspiring", but it's very interesting to see that change all of a sudden. That means completely new tooling and compatibility breaking of 2-3 major functioning parts: plunger itself, striker (new interface), maybe plunger spring. That's a whole lot of stuff for something that didn't seem broken....unless it really did have issues and they never made news because of redundancy.
