I recently posted a quick comparison after buying my Python between that and my 5" 27-2. I think I may have been a little swayed after dropping the coin I did on the Python. I say give me a 3.5" 27 and I would be happy now. I have never owned one, but always on the lookout. They simple look badass and ooze class at the same time. Very tough to do, like a woman who is both hot and cute at the same time..
