Default Is the Model 60-7 as "good" as the No-Dash Model 60?

I'm being offered the chance to trade a G19 for a GC Model 60-7. I just bought a no-dash a couple weeks ago and it has quickly become the most prized of my ~15 handguns. I love the no-dash because, as we all know, "they don't make 'em like they used to". My question is; is there any appreciable difference in quality/craftsmanship between the no-dash and the -7? I know its a no-lock, and pretty sure it's of the older smaller framed J's. Any MIM? Any other thoughts? I posted this in the 80's-Present section too...I figured this question transcended both eras. Thanks, everyone -Rob

I personally prefer the -7 variant to its predecessors, if for no other reason that has a wider (and, for me, easier to acquire) front sight.

I have several .38 Special snubs, and the 60-7 is my favorite--probably because its more accurate in my hands than the others. FWIW it seems to be as well-made as its older brothers.
