I would have to disagree with your premise in that as much as I love my Hi-Power I also enjoy the grip shape of the CZ P01. But the distance to the trigger of the P01 (and the full size CZ 75 in particular), is still a bit of a reach if you have a small hand like I do. Likewise the grip of the Beretta Model 92 is too big and the reach to the trigger too far as to make it a less than desirable choice for me in a high capacity 9mm.
And while it is in some ways similar to the Hi-Power I don't think the CZ 75 is that much more of a better version and thus the reason for the Hi-Power to be discontinued. I tend to think it's the lower production costs associated with polymer framed pistols that is the driving force at work here.
The CZ finally did them in. Lets face it the plastic crowd (nothing wrong with that) didn't do them in. As much of a classic as it is, the CZ was a better version.
