The 19 should not be fired extensively (I said EXTENSIVELY) with full-bore magnum loads.

I disagree a bit. The problem appears to have been with really fast 110gr and 125gr stuff. The 158gr loads do not appear to have been the cause of the flame-cutting and forcing-cone problems.
You're correct on the issue of parts, but in the long run, the Smiths will be easier to find parts for. There's also a wider variety of aftermarket grips than there are for the Colts.
