+1 on this response. I love my Smith's, but for actual small-frame carry in .357, I go with the SP-101 2" for the reasons cited above. With the extra weight, and good grips, it's actually comfortable to shoot in .357.
I've got a few J-frames, and really like them, but the SP 101 just seems like more of a solid platform.
