I went to the range after work, and asked one of the clerks how the gen 5s were selling. He gets a kind of slightly disappointed look on his face and tells me many people are bringing them back and trading for a gen 4.
Seems that a lot of people actually like the finger grooves. Also he said some have complained about the bottom cut out of the mag well, apparently they are snagging the magazine in the cut out as they try to insert the mag on quick reloads.
I asked to check out the 19. I thought it felt great in the hand without the finger grooves. and when brought up to the eye it was dead on target. I won't be getting one as I already have a very early gen 3 that I would never part with, but it is tempting.
