I don't think you overpaid.
Others will give you other opinions but I wouldn't mess with the sights. The originals used back then weren't that easy to see, so if you like this gun as a shooter, the ones you have now are a great improvement over those. You could put GI-profile sights that are higher (like those Colt now uses in its 1991 series and their Series-70 Repros) but you'd simply get the same sight picture, minus the white-rear/red-front outlines.
The trigger can be easily replaced, either with a short one like the one that came with the gun originally, or a longer one that is black with no holes.
Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold.
