With 3d Gen pistols, it is always a good idea to have a back up, especially if you intend to use it. If the first one breaks, you have one to use while finding spare parts for the broken pistol.

No one has the math right.
25% for one and 40% for another equals a total savings of 65%.
No one should pass that up.

Heh, I kinda did that a few months ago,
but with another MFR's guns...
found a well-used blued Star M45 marked $250,
and haggled him down to $200

Then, since it was well under standard cost,
took it to a local cerakote dude, and got it
colorized, and I'm still under $400 in it
So now I have 2 Star M45's and a S&W CS45,
which all share mags!!

Sorry, ****** pics...

Of course buy both since S&W isn't supporting their wonderful 3rd Generation Auto Pistols you'll likely need at least one more for parts or better yet buy three models as Clint Smith says "Two is one."

If I can find every part made for a ERMA KGP68A,
or a Hi-Standard model B made in 1939,
have little doubt that finding parts for 3rd gen S&W's
that they made 15 million of will cause any difficulty

and of course, if you buy enough guns and rotate them for range time, you then don't have heavy wear on any one gun
