I love them. In fact, I sold two STI 2011s and use the R.I. pictured below for all of my competition shooting now. I have upwards of 10k rounds through it without a hitch that wasn't attributed to my reloads.
OP, what did you get?
Charlie I've still got the itch and the extra pesos and I'm still looking.
I like my Springfield Armory and Remington R-1 1911's (both stainless) and I would have jumped on a Ruger SR1911 stainless by now but as hard as I try, except for the sights, I can't bring myself to like the contrasting color of the exterior parts......I'm also not overly fond of the skeletonized hammer and trigger either but the main thing holding me back is the contrasting colors (although not an issue in this case I also don't like ambi safeties).
I realize that the blued parts could be swapped out by spending more $$ after the purchase but what I'd like to find is something off the rack (like my SA and Remington were) configured the way I want it without breaking the bank.......the search continues.

If I were going to shoot over a thousand rounds a month, I would be Leary of longivity. Less than that, give it a go.
Withthat, Shoot 500 and see how it runs. Yep, finish might not be so thick and soaked in. You looking for perdy or functional? JMO

I had one.
Ran perfectly right out of the box.
No complaints.
