I'd go for the Mk II also. I currently own a Mk II with the 4" fixed sights and have had experience with the Mk I as well. The hold open/slide release is a nice addition. Also not mentioned, on the Mk II Ruger milled out the section in the back on both sides by the ears of the bolt, which make it easier to grab the bolt to cock. It may be a small change, but I think it makes a difference.
