It's made of metal and could pass for an assault rifle if pointed at an unwanted intruder. I also think Colt stamp on the side might increase the resale value. The S&W on the other hand has a functioning bolt release but looks and feels a bit like an airsoft gun you would find at wal-mart. Anyone have experience with both? What are your thoughts?

The Colt stamp is something I hold in very high regard.
On pistols, on revolvers and on true Colt AR's.
But make no mistake: the stamp on the Walther Colt doesn't belong there. It is one of those colt corperate desicions that the true colt-affcionado will never understand. And hence will never ensure a better resale value.
The Smith is the better option in many ways. Just look at maintenance, the ease to fieldstrip, the use of all kinds of aftermarket parts - including triggergroups (not on the Walther!).
Save yourself a lot of problems - get the Smith.
