Too much emphasis is placed on the "advantages" of SA actions.
All things being equal, you're talking about 3/8"-1/2" difference in length and 1-2 oz in weight, hardly worth fretting over in practical terms.
And as to the stiffer action argument for SA's, quantifying that will be difficult to determine, again in any practical terms.
More trigger time will trump technical minutia in most cases.
Go with the action that is most robust for your needs and if its a SA fine, but if a standard action is a better option given the parameters, pull out the wallet.
