It's a little outside your budget, but I was in a similar pickle where I wanted a gun purely for punching paper not too long ago.
I ended up with a Les Baer Heavyweight Monolith w/1.5" guarantee and adjustable sights. It's not a carry gun, just a really accurate refined paper puncher.
Actually the les wasn't as much as I expected. I searched around and found one near my price range. It's not exactly what I was looking for but seems like a great gun.
An alternative to the Les Baer Mono is a Premier II. Can be ordered in 2 tone and is hands down one of the most accurate guns you'll ever handle. Baer guns can be found for very reasonable prices on the used market.
As I was reading down your list, I was thinking - that sounds like my STX. Then I saw you came to the same conclusion. It's a great value - don't think you could possibly go wrong with one.
Range, carry or duty; a Baer is the best bang for the buck once you get beyond the Colt price range; hands down.
Good gun huntin',
