Springfield 1911 grip and other after market options

Picked up the Springfield Loaded MC Operator last month (a fricking masterpiece).

Already got a Blackhawk tac light and Wilson Combat 8 and 10 round mags. Thinking about replacing the grips, maybe VZ grips LINK. Also been thinking about some other custom options. Anyone have a 1911 similar and have done any work to it aftermarket (grips, barrel etc.)

I've been looking at 1911's and aftermarket goodies for them for a while, I want one badly 
If I were to replace grips I'd probably order some Ahrends grips in some kind of exotic wood, but I like the look of wood grips.
I'm heavily considering getting a SA GI 1911 this winter if I have the coin, and I'm already thinking of what I'd add to it

Ill tell you what not to get unless you just plan to pretty it up.
I would not get alumagrips, every time my hands got sweaty they were slick.
Id go with a micarta grip or something like it.

It looks like a lot of people like the Pachmayr grips as well.

OP
How much did you pick your SPF up for, was looking to get one than found a brand new SS Para for 500 and couldn't pass it up.

I also purchased the MC operator recently, I love it. I have a Springfield mil-spec with vz grips and they are sweet. But after putting a 1000 rounds through the mc operator, I really like the pachmyer grips that came with it.

full disclosure...whiskey induced, but i fricking hate every grip they make for any gun. They look shitty and they feel shitty. stick to wood on a 1911...(TWSS). I frequent bayoushooter.com and I can't tell you how many good deals I passed on because the gun had Pachmayr grips.

My budget is half that or less
But it is a damn sexy gun.

I was looking at the Rock Island Armory 1911's, but I think I'd go with a Springfield GI in stainless. I see prices just south of $600.
I'm still a little on the fence on whether I want a polymer .45 (Glock or XDm) or a 1911, but with the prices pretty close I'm leaning towards 1911.

Eeeewww

Yea the only pro for me for the polymer guns is capacity, but since this is gonna be more of a shooter/something to tinker with than a self defense gun 1911 seems like the obvious choice. And if I can't stop someone with 8 rounds of .45acp then I'm doing something wrong
