I looked up the MT LCC and it has a slightly larger blade and the scales are somewhat wider than the 940. The price is more expensive, $134.99 at Bayou LaFourche vs the $101.65 that Roger is now getting for the basic 940. Now, this is not a lot for some, but it is for me. I also do not see that the LCC is offered in any color other than basic black, rather like Henry Ford's Model T. I have to believe that offering the option of other colors is going to be the next step in marketing knives, as many people, myself included, are not tactical and are getting tired of the tactical look. The colors don't have to be way out, but I do like the green on my 940 (Sal, take notice!). Just don't make them camouflage, I'm not in the military, either, nor am I a wannabe! On the whole, I still prefer the more svelte appearance of the 940, its color, and its price. And I haven't even addressed the question of the lock. The MT has a linerlock. Now, I have nothing against them, in theory. Spyderco certainly has them done right! But the Axis Lock is so much better, it is the next generation in lock design, as is REKAT's Rolling Lock and, although I haven't seen one, Spyderco's new lock on the Gunting. Why pay more to get a lock that is not as good?
Note: I have not physically held and examined a MT LCC. My opinion may change when I have had a chance to do so, but I have to say that I fell in love with pictures of the various Spydies that I have bought online and with images of the BM 720 and 940 that I also bought online and I have loved all of them. I did not cotton to the BM 930 or which I ordered through the mail, it did not fit my arthritic hands. And certain Spydies have not worked out, but I had examined them physically before buying them and it was long-term experience that soured me.
