OK, so with today's options, to "dot" or stay iron, well, personal preference. Each has it's strengths, and limitations.
My Ronin .45 AoS ACP has quickly become my favorite gun to shoot, yes, it has a green "battery operated dooey on top" but still love to shoot it. It is my first 1911 (yes striker fired guy here, that ought to cause a debate too, lol) and .45 ACP.
The 1911 takes some getting used too but think I have the hang of it, practice, practice, practice...
The review is dead on, same experience with the failure-to-feed, but it's only had a few hundred rounds (200+) so still breaking in. But it's so much fun to shoot. And the author makes a great point, finding a holster for an optic-equipped 1911 is a bit challenging. Ended up with the inexpensive (ok, cheep) one from Springfield store so I had something for the range.
And, I just got'ta say, it's a "looker"...three or four folks at the range made comments.... dang, looks good, shoots good...

yup my ronin is a great 1911
took me a few times to stop shooting low
but its a keeper
and it draws eyes as well at the range, so i keep it close by...not to say a range person would scarf it.....but you just never know anymore
