Cap and Ball revolver newbie....sawweeeet!

So, bought my first cap and ball after thinking about buying one for like 15 years. To many other gun purchases have taken priority for some reason, but now I finally got it. Walked out of the shop with a Traditions 1851 made by Pietta. What really swayed me was a spur of the moment purchase of an Uberti 1851 cartridge conversion. After shooting that, I was surprised at how well it pointed and felt in the hand. I thought it would be barrel heavy, but it really isn't at all. While the cartridge conversion is cool, especially with rounds packed with blackpowder, the cap and ball adds a bit more work and fun....at least I hope. So, what's your opinion on which won should I get next?
