I have owned both; they are really equal, in terms of function.
Some people prefer the older Smiths with the forged hammer and trigger and the firing pin mounted on the hammer nose; those same people don't seem to like the MIM (metal injection molding) parts on the newer Smiths. However, I believe both are fine and will give you a lifetime of service. I don't like the external, key-operated lock; but that is just a personal preference. I tend to like any Smith that doesn't have the external lock.
