@BamBam Is your FrankenSmith 6915 a 5906 frame with a 6906 slide/barrel?
Or is it a 6906 frame with a 5906 slide/barrel?

I've done the swap between my 5906 and 6906 and much preferred the 6906 slide/barrel combined with the 5906 frame.
I've always hated the long barrel/short grip thing, and don't buy into the whole "it's easier to conceal" spiel.
Shorter barrel doesn't poke me in my soft spots.
Shorter barrel doesn't stick out from under my shirt or jacket.
Longer grip is easier for me to conceal and gives me much more control over the gun.
Hence my love of the 1911 Commander, S&W 4566, and the SIG P229.

I can see where others may prefer a longer barrel for more velocity and longer sight radius, but my mitts like a grip that fills them completely.

As far as p239 vs 39xx Smith, I don't own a P2339 but I have no reason to be displeased with my 3rd gen Smiths (other than them being OOP).
