Cost to replace MIM in Colt vs. Springfield?

[TRBON8R]

Can someone please give me a cost estimate of how much it would be to replace the MIM parts in a new Colt 1991 pistol vs. a Springfield Mil Spec pistol? The cost of replacing these parts will be a major factor in my decision of which pistol to purchase. I understand the SA pistol has more MIM, but it is also cheaper to buy initially, while the Colt may cost more but has fewer MIM parts. I don't want to start a debate on pros and cons of MIM, I only want facts in terms of cost to replace these parts in both pistols.

What is a fair price for a new 1991 with blue finish? There is a local shop here that has a 1991 and they want $795. That sounds WAY high. Thanks.

$795 for a Colt 5" blue series 80 GM is way high, you could buy a new series 70's for that price, an average price for the basic 1991 would be around $550....

I bought mine at http://www.sportingarms.com/ with shipping, FFL transfer and price of gun, It was home for $596....

Thanks part time. Something I forgot to mention, can the series 80 firing pin contraption on the new pistols be scrapped and returned to series 70 configuration? My plan is to build a racegun so I plan on doing some parts swaping anyway. Thanks.

On a Springfield, in addition to the above parts you would also need to replace the slide stop, thumb safety, barrel bushing and firing pin stop.
