I agree that Huntsman summed it up pretty good. The 1st series are my favorites due to the grips- they fit my hand better. 4" barrels are my favorite too for carry reasons. On the other hand, the 3rd series 6" target model with thumb rest is a delight too, but doesn't carry as well with that thumb rest. Bottom line, close your eyes and pick one. They're all good.
I scarfed up a pair of the Series 1 government WWII Woodsman grips- the plastic ones that are reminiscent of the elephant ear grips. I'm really liking them on mine, but I fear for them to break where they overhang the bottom of the frame so they only get used on "special occasions".
When they slam the lid shut on my coffin, my Woodsman better be in there with me!
