I don't have enough experience with a 1911 to speak intelligently one way or the other and I have not made up my mind if I want to venture down that rabbit trail. I do like DA/SA as I have my CZP01 and a CZP07. I almost wish I could get a 1911 design that was DA/SA but with the trigger of a 1911 that pushes straight back!

Look at a Para Ordnance LDA. It doesn't have a straight pull trigger, it's more like a Kahr trigger, virtually no weight till you hit the release point and then it's 4 or 5lbs. Looks like a 1911, shoots like a 1911 but the hammer is always down. I have 3 and although I don't carry them much they are great guns. A little more margin for error than the typical 1911 and they look great like all 1911's.
