I ran across the Cabot site, and saw that they had several 1911's that sold for $7K +, as do some Wilson's. What are you getting for that much $$$, besides a severe case of sticker shock?
If you apply the Law of Diminishing Returns to the 1911, at what price point, within $500 +/-, does this begin? A little more detail here: for the average, non-competitive shooter, who appreciates the 1911 as a combat/SD gun, how much do you have to spend, to get a RELIABLE, accurate, legit gun that will last a lifetime?
My mostly 'un-educated' guess is about $2000-2500
