I've been researching this quite extensively but I finally hit the point when I look at something and tend to lock up because I have evened out the pro's and cons.
I'm pretty sure I've settled on and FNx 40 or 45. I love the feel and the looks. I've shot one for rent at a local range.
I bought a Hornady single stage press a few months ago and have been collecting supplies to reload my own ammo and so have have everything I need to wip up over 1000 .40 sw if I want once I have something to test loads in.
I have .40 Lee dies but the .45's I ordered are still on back order. Plus I only have a couple handfuls of casings I scooped up from the range and no .45 bullets. I'd have to set aside all the .40 supplies and start over gathering .45, though I know that's not a big deal, I'd get it all sooner or later.
It will be for home defense/target/range shooting. Both guns look great. The .40 would be lighter, the .45 a little more oomph, the .40 a little cheaper on ammo, but when you reload enough it all comes down quite a bit, etc...
I can't decide.
