Let us compare!
You can buy a Valor for about $1800.00 street price. Give or take.
Now, the closest 1911 to it is a Wilson CQB Base Price $2865.00 without night sights!

Ed Brown, very close to a Valor :At least $2695

Summary, I Think Dan Wesson Valors are a Great 1911 for the price!

No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson
“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” Thomas Jefferson
