Brownells has these on sale again. It will be for my HD Colt CCU. I'm looking for the most drastic improvement over stock without the trigger being too light.
Who's got experience with both the SSA and the SSA-E?
I'm leaning towards the SSA-E.

I'm leaning towards the SSA-E.
I have an SSA-E on a recce, and I think it's great in that application, but I find it to be a bit light for a GP/HD gun. I wouldn't say it's unsuitable, I just prefer the the SSA, or even S3G in that role.
Define "too light". That's very subjective.
I have both, and the flat-faced version. I can't tell much of a difference except the flat-faced version "feels" lighter but breaks about the same as the SSA-E on my scale. If you're not trying them side-by-side, you'll be hard-pressed to notice a difference on the target or see much difference downrange.
My question is, for HD, do you think you'll see any real tangible gain? Is the stock trigger holding you back at HD ranges? If not, spend the cash on training and ammo. Hell, if it IS holding you back, spend the money on training and ammo. Use the fancy trigger for scopes guns where you're going to push out further.

Geissele has a 20% off sale if you order on their site this weekend too.
As for which trigger I would lean more towards the SD-E or SSA-E.
SSA. Lighter than stock, I don't think you'll find it too light, though
I use the SSA (on most of my carbines), SSA-E, Super-Dynamic Combat, and the Tricon. Once you get into these two stage triggers, the differences between them are far less than the difference between any Geissele and a stock Colt/Stag/LMT/whatever trigger.
That being said, I have recently really appreciated the flat bow of the Super-Dynamic and flatter Tricon triggers, but I wouldn't say that any of the Geissele triggers were less than great. I tend to want the enhanced triggers on more "target" oriented rifles, because the 3.5 lb pull is just a bit lighter than I want on a "utility" firearm.
SSA is what I'd go with if I picked up another one. I've got a SSA on my 5.56, SSA-E on my 308AR and a flat Super Dynamic Combat on my 9mm AR.
