Default New 1911, But What?

I need some help from everyone. Since we're all COTEPers, I can count on people with good taste. It's my birthday today and I really want to get myself a fantastic present in the form of a full size 1911. I just can't really find exactly what I want in a production gun. And I've been cruising the classifieds on various forums for a week now in case something else catches my eye. And why is it that when I have money to spend, there's nothing good in the classifieds, but when I'm broke I always find guns I wished I could buy? That sucks. Anyway, here's what I'm looking for:

5" 1911
10mm preferably (also consider 9mm or .38 Super)
Adjustable target rear sight
Fiber optic front sight
Flat top slide
Nothing completely stainless
Basically a "go-to" range gun. Something accurate and fun to shoot, but something that looks amazing too.

I've really been leaning heavily towards a Fusion build since I can order exactly what I want. My budget is $2000 and this will be the most I've spent on a gun, so I want to be completely sure I get what I want and that what I get is good quality. Any advice, suggestions, and comments are more than welcome.
