Take note of the safety location on the various guns you are considering. The Beretta safety is located at the front of the trigger guard, which is a deal-killer for me. You said you liked the ergos of the Beretta, but unless you've shot the gun in a situation where you need to fire instinctively you may not realize the importance of this. It's a bad feeling when the bird flies away unshot-at because you didn't get the safety off.
