Dan Wesson Commander Bobtail is what I'm planning on, although there is a limited supply and essentially a wait-list.
I'm not familiar with the Kimber line, but I will say, if that is less than a commander size, be careful. You may encounter reliability problems.
The other thing that is specific to Kimber (and some other manufacturers) is MIM parts. Basically what I think of as "hot dog metal." Grind up a metal paste, put in binders, put in mold, and that is the "metal" in your gun. I'm staying away from Kimber.
DW is a small manufacturer, but I have heard very good things from both a friend who owns one as well as the internet community.
