I just got a Benchmade 550S! I'm in love! 
This has to be the best "utility" knife I have ever seen! The Modified Sheepsfoot blade is a wonderful design for general utility. And of course the AXIS lock is great!
The 440C is a nice steel and the zxytel (sp?) is nice and light weight, but why don't they try anthing else? Maybe 154CM or D2 steel with aluminum handles? I'd buy one.
