Difference between Colt 1911s?

OK, basic question here, but this is something I never sorted out before (be nice to the medic, don't make fun of him for silly questions....)

What is the functional difference between the Series 70 & Series 80s? I mean, I've read somewhere about a firing-pin safety (is this even necessary for a weapon that's not carried hammer-down on a live round?) but is there a real-world difference?

If I were shopping for a nice, inexpensive 1911 to shoot IDPA with, would I be a fool to go with one or the other?
