Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t they sort of Elite models with larger magazines? If so could you get a different model like the Enhanced Elite and maybe save a few bucks for ammo? Other than that I think they look pretty cool and see no reason you shouldn’t get one if that is what you want.

I say yes, if you don't have to pay full price. Sigs are overpriced to begin with so buying the fancier models just makes matters worse. How much is it?

They had a 226 tac ops at the LGS awhile back. For that one, $1039 was the price tag.
6.8, what can you point to when you say Sigs are over-priced? I'm not saying I disagree necessarily (especially about some Sig models), but I just would like to know why you think that.

Overpriced.

Get a standard P226. None of the "upgrades" are really worth the price premium.

Try to get a deal on one with the Siglite sights for less than 900. That's about the max a P226 is worth.

I got a nice used one for 500.
