I am in the situation as lax. Own a 45 osprey and awaiting papers for the 45 octane. I have shot both. To be 100% honest, if I could go back, I would just buy the octane and forget the osprey. The octane is a hair quieter, not significant but noticeable. I like being able to take the can apart, gives you more flexibility in ammo selection and just prefer take aparts. The osprey does have the offset to help see the sights but to tell the truth, I can't see the sights when using either so I just don't see any advantage to the osprey except the s/n issue. I think you'll be happy with either but I prefer the octane. This is nothing but my opinion though.
Also, I have run my osprey on a Remington enhanced 1911' sig P220 combat and glock 21. The 1911 seems a tad quieter but they are all pretty close to my ears
