I just heard about the 9mm STI Elektra from a friend who compared it to the much smaller XR9-S pistol at the range.
Apparently, the XR9-S has better fit and finish, better accuracy, and significantly lower felt recoil. Plus a lower price tag (for as long as we can hold it!) I'm not sure about the Elektra's magazine capacity - I can't find it on their website.

I know this is hearsay, and I am biased, but I am definitely looking for others to publish comparisons like this.
