My 1st rifle, and the one I used almost exclusively for most of my hunting was a 700 ADL. The lack of a floorplate doesn't bother me at all. I've never had an issue with floorplates in the field, but have once or twice at the range. It is just one less thing to go wrong.
If you go Kimber I will also recommend 308 over 30-06. My 308 is just over 6 lbs scoped and the recoil is almost identical to a 7 1/2 lb 30-06. I'm not sure I'd want to shoot a 6 lb 30-06.
