I'm looking into getting a Single Action Army type revolver and have little experience with the design. Because I want a traditional-function and style 7.5" .45 (and I'm not ready to pony up - pun intended - for a Colt or USFA until I get to know the type better) I'm mostly narrowed down to the Italian copies made by Pietta and Uberti. The Cimarron line seems attractive, and they carry both makes for about the same price:
Uberti:

Pietta:

What are the relative merits of each Spaghetti Colt? I've heard rumors to the effect of the steel being softer in the Pietta, but in other regards it may be superior.
Reliability? Durability? Function? Historic Authenticity? Etc...
Anything else I should be considering? Thanks!
